Dragging the Abandoned Trailer online

It’s finally happened. Abandoned Trailer, one of the most frightening developments in modern American music, has stumbled onto the Internet. As their sole North American fan, I urge you to get over there and download a few of their tunes. I recommend just about anything from “Under the Giant,” particularly Western Sky, Bellwood Reel and Fish Bowl. But download ’em all and immerse yourself in the Trailer. Their second CD, Nighty Nite, is due for imminent release.

If you’re really cruising for a bruising, crawl into the Trailer’s attic and check out the Vinegar Brothers’ Nick Drake Phone Home.

Ok then.
