MP3 At 3PM: We Are The Willows

We Are The Willows is the solo project of singer/songwriter Peter Miller. His debut album, A Collection Of Sounds And Something Like The Plague (out now on the Amble Down label), is a musical documentation of his life and experience with everyday sounds in the city of Minneapolis, recorded with just a laptop and a few microphones. Miller even made a hand-drawn musical map of the city, which weaves together the sonic landscape that inspired the album. "A Funeral Dressed As A Birthday" captures a more introspective, wistful moment and shows off Miller's impressive countertenor range.
