Rural Space Music

Twang Darkly

Michael Futreal, Joel Boultinghouse, and Lane Bayliss do space rock, improvisational landscape textures, and psychedelic mountain jams on dulcimers, guitars, flutes, electric gourd, ukulele, and drums.

Also check out Michael's solo releases here (Twang plays these live), as well as music from Joel's other half, Carpool Jones.
