Why Are We Building Such a Big Ship? Concert History

"An unwieldy, shifting assemblage of horns, strings, percussion and voices, one minute graced with wistful melancholy, tempered with cautious optimism the next, they're one of the most curious and original bands in America." -Gabe Soria, MOJO Magazine
