Carissa's Wierd - Songs About Leaving

· Formed in 1995 by Mat Brooke and Jenn Ghetto,
Carissa's Weird spent the better part of a decade
crafting intricate, melancholic music with hushed
harmonies, heartrending lyrics, and sweeping
string movements.

· Incarnations of the band also included Sera
Cahoone, Ben Bridwell, Sarah Standard, and Jeff
Hellis, amongst others.

· Upon the dissolution of Carissa's Weird, former
members of the band went on to form Grand
Archives, S, Sera Cahoone, and most notably,
Band of Horses.

· Following the release of the retrospective
compilation, ‘They’ll Only Miss You When You
Leave: Songs 1996-2003’, Hardly Art is reissuing
all three of the Carissa’s Weird full-lengths.

· Long out of print, Songs About Leaving is the third
and final record in the Carissa’s Wierd trilogy -
originally released on CD by Sad Robot in 2002 -
and will be released on vinyl and digital for the
first time via Hardly Art.

· The LP version of this release comes on marbled
light green wax housed in a custom dust sleeve
and includes a download code.
