About Me |

| BOOKING INFO: U.S. & Canada contact- Todd Walker: todd@imnworld.com in UK & Europe contact- info@regularbeat.com This whole thing started when I spent an isolated winter recording music on a laptop in a tiny cabin out in the middle of nowhere Alaska... the second half happened in a little desert town in New Mexico called Albuquerque. Thus "Alaska in Winter" was created through a series of heartbreak, solitude, weddings, and funerals. . The resulting music is one that has ties with the folowing bands: Beirut Rap Opion Somnium BUY ALASKA IN WINTER / MARIANNE DISSARD 7" at Regular Beat ***Full Length Album out now in Europe on Regular Beat*** ***Re-edited Album w/ remixes and bonus track out now in the US & Japan on Milan Records*** BOOKING INFO: in UK & Europe- contact Iain Kirkcaldy: info@regularbeat.com for the U.S. & Canada contact- Todd Walker: todd@imnworld.com |
