I work as a web designer & use this site to experiment with advanced techniques, so things look crappy in browsers that aren't Opera or Safari. I suggest you get a modern browser, anyway. Did you know that you can get Safari for Windows? When the new music comes out I'll stop. I promise. ;)

Read Reviews “… one of the more evocative solo artists stepping across the modern garage-psych landscape… like Wooden Wand or Hush Arbors, but while Strickland’s sound reflects the greats that have come before her, the voice of her music is entirely her own, and that originality speaks volumes about who she is as a songwriter and an artist. This seems like an early chapter in Strickland’s story, but a promising one that hints at an amazing potential.”

$10.00
a concept album, each disc has a theme : exile, anger & faith, and each disc features a different recording situation. overall the sound comes off something like early pj harvey or sandra bell — emotionally taut female vocals accompanied by often chugging / crunchy electric guitars, as well as occasional drums, synth, clarinet, slide guitar & electronics. a power dose of soul — amazing hand assembled packaging, each set is housed in a lovely handmade iridescent paper box with metallic embossing, art paper insert, vellum inner sleeves, and stenciled discs. numbered edition of 50 copies.
Only at Time-Lag Records.

Read Reviews “… This mathematically named band is primarily a duo, although they get some help on slide guitar on one song. Focused around Jen Strickland’s angry growl of a voice and her wailing, scratchy guitar sound, these four songs are hard and slightly punky yet still more of a straightforward guitar-rock sound… ”
