Anathallo

So, a few months ago I stumbled onto this band, Anathallo, and their song "The River" has become probably my second or third favorite song of all time. Posted here for you consideration is a live recording of the song, but please check out the studio version, as well. Also, read the lyrics--they're some of the most poetic lyrics of any piece I've ever heard.

"Feed the roots and honor the tongues of the animals":

I post this mainly because this is the sound and style Berlin Airlift (or, at least, me personally) is striving for. Unfortunately, good musicians are in unusually short supply in our tiny town of Cape Girardeau.

Also, I've been promising pictures for a while. We'll get there eventually. We're in the middle of setting up a small home recording studio in the basement of our building, and it's all pretty slow-going. Still working on getting speakers and a mixer board, and in the meantime working on our covers for our first big show on the 6th. We'll try to put some pics of the studio and all the goodies we've been getting via Amazon and local music stores lately, as well as a few promo pics when we get the chance. In the meantime, we appreciate your support and encouragement, and please, if you know anything about setting up a recording studio or expressing yourself through song, please contact us with your wisdom. Every little bit is appreciated.

Peace,

Joshua
