Christopher McFall ~ I Throw the Switch on the Midnight Snake
The fixed point: the train lines of Kansas City East Bottoms, Missouri. The unfixed point: the train lines of the mind. Christopher McFall humbly suggests that “everyone will experience (the new album) in different ways.” In the liner notes, Lucas Schleicher
