In 2007 Weekends‘ Brendan Sullivan released Wooley Eyes on Lost Ghosts Records, home to a community of Baltimore-based musicians with some free album downloads available between the distro site and right here. The cassette looks to be quite simple, concealing a humble selection of tracks such as “In The End (Any Other Man)” or “Three Crooked Chords”, yet an unassuming press of the play button unravels a sizable chunk of reality within the heady of our fmly frndy. It’s the very aesthetic of titles, mediums, and organization that would give one the initial impression of a body of music carrying a simple and surface level energy, but once the interaction with these pieces of music takes place the typewritten cassette art and the very name of Brendan Sullivan become a harbinger of the epic proportion we’ve seen him tickle between Soft Cat and Weekends. Twenty-two steps into an introverted dwelling of internal motivation, long lonely nights, low roads and high roads, and the warmth of friends, a record to be taken with endless appreciation. Props Brendan.
