This one’s a triple threat: Shearwater’s Thor Harris takes us into a year of his own personal hell with An Ocean of Despair, an illustrated comic describing Harris’ descent into depression in the early 90s. The book is accompanied by his remarkable and haunting ambient record, Fields of Innards, Harris’ first solo effort.
Known internationally for his work with Shearwater, Smog/Bill Callahan, The Angels of Light, and Devendra Banhart, Harris is also a legendary local craftsman whose superb woodworking skills are apparent in his handmade hobbit-like home and the myriad handcrafted percussive instruments that he employs on recordings such as this one. Though Harris is currently on tour in Europe with his band Shearwater, Monofonus is proud to be releasing such fine work from one of Austin’s most well-loved characters.
To celebrate IF 07’s release, we’re going to have a dark sit down reading with questions and improvisation by Thor on July 14th.

Featherproof Books is excited, no, totally pumped, to announce our biggest event the year: The Best Dollar Store Summer Of Our Lives Tour! That’s right, we’re taking this renowned reading series on the road: packing 7+ of our awesome indie writers in a van, buying tons of dollar store junk, and hitting 11 cities in 14 days.
What’s The Dollar Store all about? We’ll tell you. Each writer is given an item purchased at a local dollar store (mundane to insane) and a month to craft a story (fiction or non-) that involves the item as directly or obliquely as the author wishes. The item is then put on display during, or incorporated into the performance. And since this series has been such a smashing success in Chicago, we thought it was about time we picked it up a notch and brought our junk to other cities.
Zach Dodson, co-founder of featherproof books, will host the Houston Dollar Store, including performances by:
Aaron Burch, Blake Butler, Amelia Gray, Mary Hamilton, Jac Jemc, Caroline Picard, and featuring Ryan Call and Gene Morgan
