The only (well, there’s another one we made as part of a split) album by the brief but bright Oll Breds, my band with poet Thomas Macfie.

Jacob Milstein - Graduation Music

Graduation Music / Circle County

Split Album, December 2012

Poet (and later musician) Thomas Macfie and I pooled our resources and made a split 12”, just before we fell into Oll Breds.
