Description:2009 release. At the risk of being redundant, Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle is about as beautiful an album as you can expect to hear sung circa 2009. Unfolding like a first view of paradise, then a slightly less ecstatic second view of paradise and then finally a glance back over your shoulder at that stupid paradise bulls*, Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle surveys a landscape that grows organically, like the time two people spend together; or the time one person spends alone (with another). One way or another, it's awfully pretty.
Comes in a gatefold sleeve (4-panel digisleeve). Recorded in August and October 2008 at The Track, Plano, TX except 5 at Cacophony, Austin, TX All Songs ©2009 Your/My Music (BMI) Mastered at SAE, Phoenix, AZ. 1, 7 mixed at Wire, Austin, TX, and 9 mixed at The Wonder Chamber, Austin, TX Produced by Raven! Are you bleeding? Oh! Raven! I did not mean to cut you! Raven! I was only kicking as a cricket in your beak! Raven! I only wanted to live! ©&? 2009 Drag City, Inc. My Friend is for Boxer. Rest in Peace. Thank you to all the names you see in this horse.
