NormanOak is Chris Barth of the psych-pop band the Impossible Shapes. His brittle folk has touches of T. Rex-isms, like the music of the similarly inspired Devendra Banhart.
NormanOak is Chris Barth. Born A Black Diamond is NormanOak's debut - a wind chipped, folk meditation on the universe's creation, mycology, the Tree of Life and a bit of Aleister Crowley mysticism. NormanOak has taken the form of a glacier, a coyote, and a woodpecker over the past few centuries, and now he has decided it was time to sing and play for the world.
