Listening to Brokeback's "Looks at the Bird", such a great mellow album. Brokeback is Douglas McCombs, who plays bass in Tortoise, Pullman and another Thrilljockey band called Eleventh Dream Day, which I don't know but I should probably check out. There are only two Brokeback albums and both center around McComb's six string bass with stark but melodic landscapes behind it, sometimes with voices that sound to me like Savath & Savalas, or spaghetti-western whistling.

i second this. Brokeback are truly beautiful...the record just flows forward at a mellow, relaxed pace. This one would be high on consideration for my "desert island discs."
