Release Notes:
Human Like a House is the debut album from the effortlessly charming San
Francisco duo The Finches. It gracefully rides the line between folk and pop,
and singer/songwriter Carolyn Pennypacker Riggs brings to mind such
unclassifiable wonders as Vashti Bunyan, the Marine Girls, and Mirah. Together
with Aaron Morgan (Roots of Orchis), The Finches musical storytelling has
attracted fans both near and far.
The Finches self-released CD EP sold over 1200 copies without any distribution
and they've performed with many of their peers including Jose Gonzalez, Mt.
Eerie, The Evens, Magnolia Electric Co., and Michael Hurley. Now Dulc-i-Tone
Records has stepped in to bring their fine talents to the world with the release
of Human Like a House on January 30, 2007.
Aside from songwriting duties, Carolyn, who also works with artist Keegan
Mchargue, creates all the artwork for The Finches releases. Human Like a House
is packaged in a deluxe chipboard digipack featuring twelve of Carolyn's
beautiful woodcut drawings.
The album features Alissa Anderson of Vetiver playing cello on "Two Ghosts", but
the album is literally a family affair: Chiefly recorded by Aaron's father,
David Morgan, Human Like a House features both members' mothers on backing
vocals, and Carolyn's mother Susan Riggs also lends her recorder talents to the
albums centerpiece, "The House Under the Hill".
The Finches will tour across the US upon the release of Human Like a House.
