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.


my mouth is filled with his ovaries
i hold them: here, between my teeth

Ferris Wheel on Fire (2011)

Released as part of their Milk Box compilation, this record only EP features several officially unreleased songs, as well as some earlier versions of songs that would go on to be part of their first full length release. Recorded between 1992 and 1995, these were the first recordings to feature Julian, who is a master at the singing saw, as you can clearly hear here.

And if I was the king of all the kids,
You'd hear me singing in my spit,
But all you would hear is the shit inside my burnt emotions.

On Avery Island (1996)

And all the drugs that I don't have the guts to take
To soothe my mind so I'm always sober
