Brandon Miller

Outside of his work as a doctoral student in Russian/Eastern European History, Brandon amuses himself with psychedelic folk meanderings and krautrock-inspired synth workouts under the nom de guerre, Crow Feathers. He's had at least a brief infatuation with almost every musical development (with the exception of hip-hop), although he finds continual inspiration from pioneers such as the Grateful Dead, Cluster, and Eric Dolphy.
