Quasi-Hymns, Murder-Ballads and Tales of How the Hero Died (2013)
Lyrics | Vinyl | CD | Download | Spotify | Apple Music | Amazon Music
Our first record was born in a dark hole. We pieced it together over two weeks beginning on New Years Eve 2012. Possibly the strangest time of our lives.
“The whole record makes sense as a piece, but it goes way outside of preconceived notions of “folk”. It is just that expansive and we are lucky to have local musicians like Stagbriar creating art that is obviously deeply personal, yet accessible by a wide variety of listeners. It is pretty amazing to think that they have only been together for a year or so. Here’s hoping they stick with us for much longer.” - SEAN KNIGHT (SC MUSIC GUIDE) 2013
