The Sagehens are Josh Ottum, Frank Lenz, and an assorted cast of highly qualified characters. They hail from the entrhalling landscapes of Southern California. Most of their work centers on themes of deep emotionality, highly technical musical transitions, and an almost lifesaving sense of lyrical depth. This may sound ridiculous… and it is.

 

And so the name dropping will begin:

Frank Lenz has played music with Richard Swift, David Bazan, Damien Jurado, Starflyer 59 and The Weepies. He has also played on thousands of recordings you’ve heard while shopping at Urban Outfitters. Ottum has also played with Richard Swift and David Bazan as well as Rosie Thomas and Alexi Murdoch. The cast of characters joining the Sagehens includes Tess Shapiro (Tess and Dave, Father John Misty) Ryan Richter (Dijon, Lizzy MacAlpine), Casey Foubert (Sufjan Stevens, The Shins), David Vandervelde (Jay Bennett, FJM), and Elijah Thomson (Father John Misty, Richard Swift). It’s also worth noting the record was mixed by Elijah at Elliott Smith’s New Monkey Studios.
