Nebraska From Afar
21 Aug 2007 ⋅ Greydawn
Two people who met once, long ago, find each other unexpectedly in a pancake house in Omaha. They fall in love and hit the road, or they hit the road and fall in love. But a car is a cramped home, and soon they're driving each other crazy. Will they figure out a way to build something more lasting than a summer road trip?

Dishwasher Thief

A crime spree, a slice of pulp fiction. If you really loved me, you'd help me break the law. Two people, each trying to outwit the other. How many ways will justice be served?

A fever dream. The humdrum workaday world is enough to make you dream of that giant blank slate in the middle of Canada: Saskatchewan! But can even your dreams of freedom match up with your dreams of your dreams of freedom?

The Zealot's Curse
2002 ⋅ Sad Penguin Records
A caustic album of hermetic songs about frustrations, vengeance, and disappointment. Not a good party album.

A Desparate Drama About Faith In These The End Days
2005 ⋅ Love Harder ⋅ out of print
A Desparate Drama About Faith In These The End DaysAfter waiting a few years to find a home, this ten-minute four-track five-song story finally found its home on Love Harder. And the drama in question is about a struggle to find a home, so it seems appropriate that the EP had a struggle to find its home, although it found a better home than any of the characters on the EP do...

The Resurrectory
2005 | live | website
In 2005 Liminal performance group created an installation/performance space called The Resurrectory. The Resurrectory was a sort of performative museum that took as its seed the Burke & Hare murders of 1820s Edinborough. We were asked to contribute some songs to "give voice" to the murder victims, and Chris ended up performing the songs live at the site (as well as taking on other roles). These songs have not been recorded yet. You can read more about our experiences there.
