Dustan Townsend, better known as Fish in a Birdcage, has written his own rules since 2014. Rooted in his upbringing, Dusty's mother imparted the fundamental rule #1, "Be Safe," and more rules followed with time. Reflecting this ethos, Dusty’s compositions are similarly titled a "rule." We’ve now reached “Rule #39 - Lore,” a traditional folk-inspired song teaching us the importance of knowledge being passed down. Expanding on this, Dusty relays “Lore is my tribute to the age-old tradition of passing wisdom from elder to youth through spoken storytelling and songs that echo and leave a profound impact across generations." The track gorgeously highlights Dusty's impressive cello skills & even features one of his mentors on the instrument, Natalie Haas. Produced by Howard Redekopp (Mother Mother, Tegan and Sara) as part of his Mentors album sessions. For fans of Mother Mother, Rio Romeo, & Will Wood.
