surly recordings, 2005
storm pass on
time slips away
i'm cold
seventeen
we sleep in shifts
love and rhetoric
ballad #1
2002
we are one?
next town over
everything for right now
in retrospect
this will drive you insane
bound together with string
porch light
you only laugh part 1
small small nails
you only laugh part 0
interlude
dilated and embraceable
sleepless between summers
New Music
to be as two - notes
i saw it start/never alone - notes
Unreleased Songs
i couldn't stand up - notes
you - notes
untitled instrumental 1 notes
against the night - notes
Compilations
happy holidays from landing party records
mike appears as "uuu"
it's christmas, my love - notes
to be as two - notes
i saw it start/never alone - notes
