"Slow, sorrowful, and lush dronescapes that unfold calmly and thoughtfully... easily absorbed and brimming with emotion and conviction."
~ Everything is Fire

a brief introduction to If Thousands
Duluth, Minnesota's If Thousands began as an experimental music project in April 2000 by Christian McShane and Aaron Molina. McShane, a classically trained vocalist and guitarist; and Molina, a punk-rock bassist, tried various musical scenarios before deciding to abandon what they already knew and switch to instruments they had no idea how to play. Neither have had any formal training in the instruments they play in If Thousands. In this way, new soundscapes can be found through a naíve approach to instrumentation. The nature of the project is to continually seek new methods of musical expression through experimentation in order to create outstanding drone oriented music.
