eagler/deer: summer of sepia

Eagle/Deer is Sara Barratt. She recorded Summer of Sepia over a three-year period in her early 20s. She says she enjoys singing but isn't so sure about all the hoopla that goes with it. There are a couple of short interviews available online, and there's talk of the occasional (undocumented) live performance -- but this is not some attempt to seed mystique. The songs do that nicely on their own. To try to get the pigeon in a hole, one might call Summer of Sepia "Massachusetts psych-soul -folk." Other listeners have offered up a range of references, mostly along the lines of "lost '70s classic."
