the largest number of characters in a drawing I've done has been four (I think), so I thought I'd increase that number slightly

Bought a bunch of new bras last night, which means I am broke because they are expensive. But it also means that I'm  walking around, feeling at my utmost powerful and wanting to feast on the blood of my enemies because I'm a bad bitch, y'all. Watch out.

To Eleven Reviews Will Stratton's Latest 'Gray Lodge Wisdom.'

"Musically, Stratton is a little bit Americana, a little bit folk, and on tracks such as “Do You Love Where You Live?”, a lot bit Nick Drake. While his sound is, as I said, quiet and solemn, it is also complex, with layers of strings over his skillful guitar. It’s the perfect blend of solid musicianship, thoughtful lyrics, and the perfect, most appropriate atmosphere."

The Paver on To Eleven's TOP 11 of 2013

TRUST - The Paver

When the line “stand up to me” is delivered at the end of the title track, the effect is absolutely chilling. The backdrop of brutal aluminum-rock bass, analog synths, and cello and violin is the setup for the gut wrenching pain of the dueling male-female vocals. Left bruised by the sometimes abrasively chaotic side one, the gauzy perfection of side two comes as a blissful drop into a narcotic coma. A scratchy French conversation and piano gives way to a hypnotic string figure and dusky vocals which build into crashing devastation and dimly heard screamed background vocals. “Underneath” follows with tribal rhythms set against a stabbing string section and a gorgeous intonation of the title. The record ends with a tour-de-force that leaves the listener in an emotionally spent heap on the floor.
