Divorce Lawyers I Shaved My Head (2009)
Often compared to the folky recordings of acclaimed artist Jeff Mangum and his band Neutral Milk Hotel, this album is the only release by Jordaan Mason under the name Jordaan Mason and the Horse Museum. From what I've heard, the very disjointed lyrics, similar to those of Mangum, tell the story of a failed marriage between two people of confused genders and identities. The album takes place during a glandolinian war and includes horses, shotguns, carnival horn sections, religion, male birth, sickness, semen, haircuts, and an eventual apocalypse in 1990. Filled with very acoustic lo-fi and folk flare, this album is a roller-coaster of ridiculousness and strangely touching feelings.

Live at Jittery Joe's (2001)
Jeff plays an unprepared set list with a bit of a hoarse voice as he takes audience requests and a baby squeals in the background.
"Phil, do you really want to hear the song about Jesus?"
"Yes."
"Okay. Song about Jesus."
