In Their Words: “Following in the long tradition of poets, bards, and mystics, I open the album with a dedication to the Muse in ‘Pine Needles.’ Without her, I wouldn’t be here singing to you. The song asks you to wonder, ‘Is there anything that is not holy?’ Pine needles point in every direction at the beautiful dream we live inside of. And if our very flesh is holy, what better way to worship God than to make love?” — Daniel Steinbock

Album: The Wheels
Label: Omega Records

In Their Words: “I wrote [“The Wheels”] thinking of coming down from the Sierras after a party show out there. The stars are so bright from up there in the mountains, and when you hit a gap where the city below opens up to view, the sky lights and the valley lights seem like they’re having a conversation. Something about how we try to bring the stars down to the ground, the way we love them. Brighten up the night. The wheels are a constant modern drone, never ending, always humming, no matter what time of day or night. We asked Frank Door to do the video. He’s really great, has a great eye. And we couldn’t be more pleased with the result.” –Sage Fifield
