Drunken Barn Dance - Drunken Barn Dance Re-released on Feb 17th 2009 by Qui-Sci. Drunken Barn Dance is the stinging, fuzz-folk creation of Scott Sellwood, a long-time member of Fred Thomas’ Saturday Looks Good to Me collective (K Records). As DBD, Sellwood has crafted a sparse, yet tuneful universe, frequented by the disowned, the disoriented and the devil herself. Mysterious, wry, honest, romantic and vulnerable, DBD is the neighbor you hear only at odd hours, the winsome girl across the party, the lonely boy at the record store. You can grab a copy HERE.
