Although this five song EP carries his band's name, it's really the work of Jesse Thomason. Don't expect an earthy folk with these simple arrangements of acoustic guitars and vocals -- more like an understated acoustic U2. His lyrics drift in a bed of philosophical contemplation, some light like the opening cut "The Sunset" and some dark, like the weary relationship song "Waiting for..." where he complains "I don't care anymore." He uses an open tuning with a low bass drone that underscores the melancholy on "Wild Flowers." - Jamie Anderson copyright 2005
