row of chairs tracing a line

a four song ep recorded and engineered by Jim Johnson at Westwood in the waning years of vinyl. along with mark & tom bombara, currently residing in Seattle and Austin TX, tl blew into the outskirts of maple plain MN and for the next two days laid down what would become the cornerstone of their sound. joined by dave carey of Minneapolis who added the brass, harmony vocals and windchime. the result is nothing less than inspiring.

you and whose army volume one

after the demise of row of chairs, tl approached a number of musicians around town about the possibility of putting together an lp featuring songs written by those members of bands as well as other individual as a way of showcasing the songwriting talents present in the area. includes 'windburn', co-written with andy ries and joe boever. nine songs spanning the gamet. nine musical journies. not too shabby.

Taylor Longworth Bend the Rules

a 6 song debut cd recorded at a triad of local studios. as easy as it is to pigeon-hole the songs as 'quite good', putting the proverbial finger on the reason 'why' is quite another. each song is a story of its own; jubilantly lost, achingly hopeful, downright heartbreaking. reading is not listening. listen.
