More Info:

In 2005, Firewater's Tod a embarked on what would become a 3-year sabbatical through the Middle East, the Indian Subcontinent and South East Asia. Recording with a single microphone and a laptop in his pack, he captured performances with a vast array of musicians across India and Pakistan - and eventually Turkey and Israel. Writing songs about the world he left behind in the US ("This is My Life") and politics ("Borneo," "Hey Clown"), his acerbic wit shines on THE GOLDEN HOUR, elucidating both the beauty and the absurdity of his world.

Reviews:

Comes close to being essential listening. In which a Nick Cave/Tom Waits acolyte travels to Pakistan, hangs out with the locals, and makes Sufi cabaret punk rock music...A superb, disturbing slab of desperation and creativity. --Andy Whitman, Paste Magazine
