Default Quail Lungs - Dumb Dadadum 7" single (2009)



2 songs:
A. Dum Dadadum
B. You Can't Believe in Anything, You Can't Believe in Nothing

Band:
Travis Bonilla

Released by PPM (Post Present Medium) in 2010

I was near the point of giving up on indie-rock/music in the 21st century. If you're like me in that respect then I have good news. It's called Quail Lungs, a one-man band from Portland, Oregon who records his music on a 4-track with more truthfulness than some entire indie labels have shown for..a decade? More? You be the judge



That song is breathtaking and it was released with a b-side song called 'You Can't Believe in Anything, You Can't Believe in Nothing'. The b-side doesn't have nearly the amount of guitar as the title track, but you should hear it if your taste has developed beyond simple love of the breathtaking. This song is a meditative response to a koan that I have not heard.

Quail Lungs is the project of Travis Bonilla and is, I believe, his first public release. And now I want more so let's hear it, Travis
