-----------------------------------------
We Gathered at Wakerobin Hollow is a four hour, 40 song cycle, being released in nine chapters over 18 months. Combining folk storytelling with drone and noise, the songs trace the lives of a family and friends over a 40 year period in a series of connected vignettes. The larger narrative, told chronologically from multiple points-of-view, is set in motion by a catastrophic fire at an oil refinery in Odena, Alabama. From there we follow a handful of characters, as children become adults, spread out to Asheville, New York, and Bennington, get jobs, fall in and out of love, families grow, until coastal flooding and other impacts of climate change transform their day-to-day lives, eventually leading them all to Odena and Wakerobin Hollow.

The songs, arranged for piano, voice, synthesizers, noise and field-recording, explore female friendship, familial relationships, and the ways climate change is, and will, affect our lives. As the cycle progresses through time, it sonically degrades, so the closing songs are marked by digital decay increasingly obscuring the narrative.

Includes unlimited streaming of We Gathered at Wakerobin Hollow ~ Chapter 01: It All Starts in Odena via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
