    Horse Head Dawn, a six song EP from Wolverton, with cover art by Chase Babcock. Selected for FolkWorld Best of 2013, Editor's Choice list. Download includes bonus track.

    "For their latest collection Wolverton have become an entire band, giving their songs a rich full sound topped of with some excellent vocals that tie the whole thing together… Exhibiting a creepy Doors-like atmosphere, Pool is a highly effective slice of psychedelia… Over six songs, the quality and atmosphere remains high, great stuff."
    --- Simon Lewis, Ptolemaic Terrascope

    "This is folk music that has that psychedelic sensibility with a sense of space in the vocals and the staggered timing in the guitar notes. There is some distant violin and piano punctuation that creates intriguing atmospheres and tensions, but the lead male vocals and female harmonies lead the way in these six songs…"
    --- David Hintz, DC Rock Live

    The reassuring vibe projected by the subdued vocals, the fragile harmonic nature of the arrangements, and the laid-back sensibility articulated in the plain-spoken songwriting all cohere to make this sweetly dulcet honey one to relish."
    --- Jim Testa, Jersey Beat

Ears 03:13
Ears if the wrong tree falls in the forest and there’s nobody there to hear can you hear yourself barking will anyone lend an ear sword asleep lays across a chair don’t sense the edge of it anywhere horse head dawn is the outline fair rock sticking up is the horse’s ear shadow in a horse shoe canyon tends to gather at one end the light falls fine in front and behind knothole listens in the shape of an ear it’s a tree but it looks like an ear bark is gray and the limbs obey some scheme that only trees can hear Lestrade with his pride in his pocket in the story of the lady in green a curtain falls between two walls one side real the other a scene

No Big Deal 04:14
No Big Deal goodbye Whitney hello Adele I know the old woman in the shoe but you know William Tell it’s no big deal Newton’s apple keeps falling maybe always will down on the ground there is no sound just being still it’s no big deal eat some angels eyeballs if you want to see inside are you a real hitchhiker do you need a ride it’s no big deal the Inspector keeps calling probably always will he waits for a clue to drive through Meru in a Coupe de Ville its no big deal

Fresh Mint 05:41
Fresh Mint on a level path beside a house where welcome ever holds court a sliver of green against the quiet brick aging earth distorts aging earth distorts aging earth distorts on a level path beside a house where welcome ever holds court a sliver of sun against the raging birds aging earth distorts aging earth distorts aging earth distorts green and green in friendly patterns small and most discreet quiet in its memory where dearest friends would meet on a level path beside a house where welcome ever holds court a sliver of green against the quiet brick aging earth distorts aging earth distorts aging earth distorts on a level path beside a house on a level path
