Grapetastic!
This is some of the most interesting music I've heard in the last decade. Great stuff.

I've listened to the album 5 times now, it's so good. My personal favourites are My Life In a Cave, In The Background and I'm Fine Without You, though I like all of the songs. On some tracks (such as Old Soul), your vocals remind me a little of Adam Duritz, you've definitely got something special man.
The humour that pervades the album is fun, I enjoy the laughing and messing around "Na na na Na na Na na...Stupid!" lol.
Good luck with your premiere show, I dare say you'll gain a lot more fans that night.
This shit slays. Downloading, playing on my radio show tonight.
Do you have the lyrics available? My ears fail me sometimes...
Lovin' your album, man!
Great stuff, I was pleasantly surprised after listening to Windchester. Any other details on your premiere show?
I listened to one of the songs the other day and really liked it, but haven't had a chance to listen to the whole thing yet. I did just check, though, and saw it was up on MOG, which is pretty awesome. Doesn't really matter since you put the download up for free anyway, but it's cool. I'll probably give it a listen and post thoughts tomorrow.
Fidelis knows I'm in his corner. I need to get me that CD CASE COPY SON! Yes!
That shit looks slick, man. Real slick. Lookin' like you're gonig to chop the hell out of a tree in that cover. That's some real man shit right there.
Gonna go ahead and toss that TENNER at ya when I get back home becuase I need to spin this. After everything else I've heard from you? #1 on Last.FM.
Thanks dreamer! I didn't even know what MOG was until your post. Guess cdbaby really works, haha
MOG's awesome. Better library that spotify. And this proves it! Your album isn't up on spotify yet, lol.
I'm just curious, though, how does that stuff work on your end? I'm guessing you put it up on cdbaby and they put it elsewhere? Do they give you a cut of the streaming deal at all?
Edit: Just listened to it, and I loved it. I especially liked Eternal Sunshine and Winchester, and anything with a harmonica. I didn't catch most of the songs since I had it playing on my stereo while I went about my business, but those were the two songs I went and checked on because I was digging a bit more.
Your OT is very amusing, good luck with your first album!
Cdbaby is a service you pay a price for and they put it through their partners to get it on most digital services, though the bigger ones were the one I cared about really. It's really helped a lot, if not just to look more professional on the setting out.
At first I was going to say that sounds like a raw deal if streaming services like Spotify, MOG, and Rhapsody are playing your stuff and you're not getting anything from it. Then I did some searching and found out a bit about how it works. If you somehow didn't know this then you should probably register with Soundexchange so you can get some money from streams.
Holy cow just listened to Winchester and started downloading the album before the :30 mark. Amazing. Are you considering touring? I'd love to see you if you came to Boston. Could you hook yourself up with Fleet Foxes or Portugal.the Man or one of those bands as an opener of needed?
EDIT: Life in a Cave sounds a LOT like a less restrained Tallest Man on Earth. I love it.
my favorite rock club, if you need venue ideas
Loving it, great job man
Crap. Missed this. I work at a college radio station in Portland. We are on the net at www.kpsu.org. I have a show Thursdays at 4 PST, called The New Show where I basically just play... really new stuff. Sometimes unreleased REALLY new stuff, and yeah. I played one of your tracks this week.I would love to have more details on this. Any way I can hear it? Internet stream?
Man, the shipping from "Createspace" is whack. I'm in Australia, so sure, I wouldn't expect to get it like the next day or anything, but if I choose standard shipping, they estimate it will take two months. TWO MONTHS! Are they building the plane? Expedited is one month and priority shipping is close to two weeks (and costs 2.5x the price of the CD). I think I'll go standard and wait the two months, due to the fact that I already have the songs downloaded from the GAF gold link. Though, I will buy the downloads too, for a little extra support.
Out of curiousity, how do you plan to do your live show? Will it just be you and your guitar? I was listening to the podcast and was pretty surprised to hear that everything else is "faked".

Woo! Just got my first shipment of CD's in. They all look clean and ready to sell at my show. Or give away because I'll probably be tipsy.
How much did that run you back? I was considering CDs for the longest time only to find out it would cost me a fuckton of money.
And are you prepared for the show? How are you practicing for it?
However, I would suggest changing your name, if just to make you easier to google- there are a lot of bands named Timberwolf, signed and unsigned.
One track in and already great stuff man!
I have a soft spot for Folk music, and this hits the spot perfectly. Since you're playing around LA, maybe ill catch one of your shows one day.
Again, fantastic job!
Oh wow, this is really good. I'm digging When I Woke.
When you strike it rich, don't forget about the nerds that cheered you on when you started.
CD's are taken care of through here. Distribution through sale, so no upfront cost at all.
Show wise, for the amount of practicing I've been doing I better be ready for it, haha. I'm pretty much just practicing by going through the set over and over and over.
Oh wow I should check that out. And good luck with the show. Hope you kill it, man.
