Colin McCann didn�t pick up a guitar for nearly ten years. The�Northern-California-based songwriter, previously performing�under Long Dog Bird, had been creating music with longtime�friend and collaborator Brian Gossman for much of their adult�lives with early-00s Baltimore-based band Wilderness. So what�would cause such a stagnant period? And how could McCann�find his way back to the joy that music had once so easily�conjured? The answer was to go back to the very beginning,�where the kinetic forces that urged McCann to make music in�the first place could emerge once again. But first, he had to�make space in his internal world; a kind of silence where he�could hear the exhale of his past, and the blossoming of a new�song.�

That blossoming would soon become the first songs for�McCann�s latest project Vulture Feather. The band�s debut�album�Liminal Fields exists on an intangible plane: a crack in�the concrete, a gauze between worlds. For as long as McCann�can recall, he�s been using music as a vehicle to try and�connect with an underlying, indescribable nature that only the�sonic world seems to be able to reach. �There�s a feeling of�ecstasy that comes when one merges with music,� he says.��It�s what calls us all back again and again to listen, to sing, and�to play.� McCann had been striving to reach this outlying�environment throughout his career, often stretching in ways�that eventually came to negatively impact his life, and his�health.
