“This Year In A Nutshell” is the first record by “A Series Of Dark Caves” (a.k.a. David Ferguson). It features four tracks which were all recorded with a small four-track recorder on the floor of his bedroom.


The songs on the EP are personal, and they cover a number events which sum up 2008 for A Series of Dark Caves, which is also where the EP’s name comes from.


Some people who have already listened to “This Year In A Nutshell” have likened it’s sound to that of Animal Collective member Noah Lennox’s solo material as Panda Bear, and also to that of John Darnielle from The Mountain Goats.


Moving on from the shameless name-dropping, A Series Of Dark Caves was originally a solo project, but with the live show aspect lacking fluidity, David is currently recruiting musicians that share a similar musical outlook to play live with.
