- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
South China was born in 2002 as a marriage, musically and literally, of
Jeremy and Jerusha Robinson. Their individual backgrounds in experimental
rock and classical music produce a sound that feels sparse and improvised,
evoking a slightly dark and dream-like state, like trying to recall something
that is just beyond the edges of memory. They draw listeners into their
intimate world of Maine winters, bittersweet moments, subtle humor, and the
bizarre dream imagery.
While living on Washington Avenue in Portland during 2003-2004, they wrote
constantly, and also began collaborations with their friend and former band
mate David Lamb, forming the first trio version of Brown Bird. Over the
following 6 years South China chipped away at their catalog, writing,
re-writing, ditching, digging up, gestating. They moved six times. They
landed in Biddeford and rented out a music studio on Washington Street. When
coming up with a name for the album which was recorded by Ron Harrity at
Peapod Recordings, the one that stuck was "Washingtons".
