Ep. 12: Mayflower




Mayflower's first album 'Second Best Sunsets' is the result of a sudden burst of musical creativity from the lead singer, Ted Casper.  Already a creative guy, he picked up a guitar a few years ago and began belting out raw, clever, and catchy tunes.  

'Second Best Sunsets' relates to the rumor that our mutual home town, Oswego, has the world's second most impressive sunsets.  The first is some town in Japan that may not even be there anymore.  The connection is radioactive.  Our nuclear power plant pumps clouds into the atmosphere, which collect over lake Ontario and provide impressive filters for the sunlight at dusk.  This toxic beauty is shared by much of the music in Oswego, which ranges from sullen hippie to raging hipster.

Mayflower is expected to release another album soon.  If you want to be sure to hear some of it, vote for Mayflower and get your friends to subscribe, join, and vote for them too!  The poll is located on the right hand side of this site.
