Songbird, Pt. 1 - The Hearers

The Hearers began as a side project in 1994 for main songwriters, Darren Welch & Marc Tweed. Stripped down, stark odes to familial decay, lost wallets and rotary dial telephones made up their first release, a 7 song self-titled cassette that also featured engineering and production work by David Moore, who soon after began playing with the band. In the late 90’s, James Grauerholz of William Burroughs Communications decided he thought so highly of the band’s music that he funded the manufacture of a full-length CD.
