Science Fair is the new band and brainchild of singer/guitarist Mike Clayton,

make their case, which should come as no surpise, Mike has been a songwriting
machine since picking up the guitar several decades ago. MSF mix lush vocal
melodies with rich power pop creating a vast, hypnotic sound... |

expertise. |

Blind - The Everyday Separation (MUD-CD-047)

Tractor
Kings - Sunday Night (MUD-CD-046)
CD $10.00
Cosmic Americana. Songwriter Jacob Fleischli's overcast Dylan-esque vocals
ride the swells of gracefully strummed acoustic guitars, a nearly religious lap
steel, provoking psychedelic electric guitar flourishes, a spectral casio, folky
mandolin and eerie fiddle, haunting harmonies and drummer Rebecca Rury's rolling
tom-toms, sizzling cymbals and tambourines. |
