"The Harvest Brass Echo" is the sophomore full length album by GY&TBL and comes out swinging. The selections of songs are solid and confident while expanding on the familiar sound of previous releases. Songs like "Ura" and "In The Dim Light Of Glowglobes" pack a epic gazey rock while the lights dim for the ballady "Grey" & "Half Is Me". Pop songs are abundant, with the short "(Someone Will Be Looking) Out For You" and "Christmas Quarantine" leading the pack. There's several guests on the album, including Jehn Cerron's lead vocals on "Little Scar," and Andrea Lee Higgins lead voice on "Red Curtain Sunlight" (which also features Bob Kane of Mandate Of Heaven/Flashing Astonishers on drums). Alex Kerns (of the band Lemuria) is a guest on drums on "Ura" & "Little Scar" also.

"Wonderbuckets" is a collection of the 4 eps done between 2004 & 2007, with a bonus new song "The Truth Behind Sarcasm". The collection were remastered by Jocko of More Sound with additional mixing & mastering by Doug White of Watchmen Studio. It features different earlier versions of staples like "My Narcoleptic Sara," "Laughter Be Your Slave," and "Christmas Quarantine," amongst a bunch of mid-fi home recordings and experiments...
