This track was part of a 12" vinyl compilation called "Thundersnow Road" which was printed by Merge Records. Its a really cool project created by Xaviera Simmons for the Nasher Gallery in Durham, NC. Xaviera, who is a visual artist, created a series of narrative photographs in North Carolina, and then gave the photos to her musician friends who responded by writing and recording music. We were lucky enough to be invited to collaborate. This is early version of what would become Bird Dog.
