So here it is…….Bison on the Plains https://awal.lnk.to/BisononthePlains
It sounds as if the words are about the melodramatic lengths I go to… and methods I employ… to frame an image in a song. Almost jokingly. But respectfully.
Like all of the noises, sound samples, buttons, keys, circuits, wires, strings, and gear it takes for someone like me to facilitate the lonely looking image of a solitary bison standing out on the open plains.

Jason talked with NPR about the music video for “Brush with the Wild”, and finding “humor in grief”.
We have a video for “Brush with the Wild”. I really love the way it turned out. So funny, and scrappy. And sad. And actually, kinda hopeless……but in a hopeful way. - jason
There are no accurate words to express what we need to.
We are absolutely shattered to say that we lost our friend and band mate Kevin Garcia early this afternoon. He succumbed to the effects of a massive stroke.
We were all able to say goodbye to him and he was surrounded by his closest friends and family here in Modesto.
Kevin started playing with Grandaddy when he was fifteen. He was an actual angel. He navigated life with a grace, a generosity and a kindness that was utterly unique. And contagious. He is loved so deeply by so many.
Kevin was a proud father of two children, Jayden and Gavin. He is survived by his grandmother Joan, his parents Randy and Barbara (who let us practice at their house until 2001…and who are the best), his brothers Craig and Jeff and his wife Sondra.
We’ll have more to say in the days ahead. Right now the four of us are grieving together. With great sadness and love, Grandaddy
There is a gofundme here to help with his family’s coming expenses:https://www.gofundme.com/friends-of-kevin-garcia
Another great night in Glasgow. Thanks to BBC Radio 6 Music and everybody who came along. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04y14x8
As we hug the locals in Glasgow, here’s an almost distant memory from last week’s SXSW with The Current.
