Pinback Autumn of the Seraphs Released 2007

Sometime during the Winter of 2000 I heard Pinback for the first time. My friend Garrett brought over the 'Some Voices' EP for me to check out and I think we must have listened to 'Manchuria' play into 'June' 3 or 4 times in a row. This was an exciting yet frightening time when I decided to drop the day job and try to make a living as an artist. For the next 7 months or so I worked to complete a book of Character drawings for the New Star Wars Essential Guide to Characters (Del Rey Books/Lucas Ltd.). I remember freezing to death in my studio attatched to the garage, drinking crazy amounts of coffee, drawing Luke Skywalker and company. Pinback was the soundtrack and it really did rule.
