Check out our latest Live From the Universe session! This was back in late-November in Pittsburgh at This Is Red. A hi-def, multi-camera shoot in a beautiful and inspiring space.
Well... we did it. We released the album. We played a show. It's out there now!
You can find the CDs over on our merch page. They look AWESOME, we'd have to recommend adding one to your collection.
You can stream it on Spotify, Bandcamp, Soundcloud, Apple Music, and a dozen other platforms.
You can buy a digital copy on iTunes, Google Play, or Amazon.
As always you can download it for free straight from us.
Bottom line is: we want you to have it in whatever way is most convenient for you. We hope you enjoy it, and please help spread it around if you do!
Stay tuned for some new video content, and other media from our release party.
Time to start working on whatever is next! See ya soon!
Thanks to our friend Jeff at This Is Red for inviting us into his lair to record! What a sweet setup!
Here are Fallingwater and My Very Sweet Friend, two tracks from our upcoming album The Making of Laughter and Tears!
P.S. -- Check out the March 2018 edition of The Indie Rock Playlist for an exclusive pre-release track (Flood Gates), as well as a Creature People IRP Intro!
We're happy to announce the release of Mantra Song from our upcoming album The Making of Laughter and Tears!
It is now available for streaming and free download on Soundcloud (MP3) and Bandcamp (FLAC/MP3), as well as our downloads page (FLAC/MP3).
Stay tuned for more soon, and thank you for listening!
We've been teasing a new album for a long time...
A really long time. Sorry about that.
Life got in the way for a while, but we're happy to report that a lot of progress has been made in the last several weeks regarding mixing and mastering.
Each step of this process spawns new ideas and rabbit-holes to explore, but that is what makes it fun!
We are going to get this thing out there as soon as humanly possible, promise!
From now until the album release, anyone who signs up for the mailing list will receive a preview track.
We are dying to share, yet want to hold off until it's all finished.
This approach has always paid off in the end!
Kayli threw down two more songs over Christmas break in the brand new Creature People studio (aka the basement of Ian's new house).
This new album has been a long time in the making, and at times seems like it will never be here. Living in separate states while both having full-time jobs makes any time we get to spend working on this special, and we can't wait until it's ready to share!
We're now up to 14 songs that could potentially go on it, which will most likely be narrowed down to 12 for the final release. Lots of tracking and mixing left for Ian to do still, but the end result feels like it's finally within reach.
Thank you to anybody who is listening!

Fans of Joanna Newsom should definitely check out the brother-sister duo known as Creature People. Combining classical guitar and quirky, sugar-sweet vocals for a folk-infused brand of indie. “West Cozy” is the title track from the band’s 2015 release and leaves on with the impression that is was created by fairyfolk from some unseen realm of magic rather than actual human beings from Pittsburgh. Listen to “West Cozy” below and then dive on into other offerings from Creature People through their Bandcamp page.
Greetings from Breckenridge, CO. We only had a short time to jam on this family vacation, but were able to produce this video in between goat sightings, pool parties, and way too much food.
Thanks to our new friends WeeClaire and Independent Clauses for giving us some links this week! It's fun to see clicks coming in from new places around the world. Please check out both of these blogs!

Creature People‘s Dark Ambitions is based on a recent trip to New York city.
It’s uncertain what went down in the Big Apple but as the track comes to a close, vocalist Kayli sings “dark ambitions are running this town, I don’t think I’ll stick around.” What happened? You decide!
The brother sister duo – Kayli and Ian – are a strange duo combining a 60s folk sound and awkward, haunting female vocals that make for an intriguing mix. It’s almost unnerving to listen at first but after a few plays, you’ll become utterly enchanted with the darkness that surrounds Creature People.

“West Cozy” – Creature People. By chance, I stumbled upon this text-based adventure game while I was listening to the song. Creature People’s mysterious, woodsy folk was the perfect accompaniment to a game that slowly unfolds itself as an adventure.
The May 2016 edition of The Indie Rock Playlist went online today, featuring Dark Ambitions. Thanks to them for including us again on their 10 year anniverary playlist! Check it out here.
Explosions of the Heart was also part of the March 2016 edition.
The two playlists together contain more than 10 hours of new tracks to discover, so get over there!
Tonight we played in the hallway. Here is Dark Ambitions:
We got to play a show on Saturday, so Ian is in Pittsburgh, and is spending the week here. We will be jamming, and recording some more songs. Here is a video from our practice for the show:
Explosions of the Heart is now available for streaming and free download on Soundcloud (MP3) and Bandcamp (FLAC/MP3). You can also head to the downloads page and grab a direct download. We've got you covered!
The new batch of stickers just came in and are looking pretty groovy!
They come free (along with some other treats) with any CD order in the store.
We just finished editing a bunch of new live videos from our show on 2015-12-23 at The Chateau in Bloomington, IL.
A big thank you to Sagan Jacobson, Ohtis, and everyone who showed up for putting together a really memorable night!
Practicing for our show at The Chateau in Bloomington, IL on 2015-12-23 with Hannah Kerrigan.

Kayli is home for the week, and we've been staying up way too late recording a couple more tracks for our next album!
We did a quick "Live From the Universe" session today before our show at Bayardstown Social Club!
Kayli was home for the week, so we got to practice and record a couple for YouTube:
The first pressing of our discs from Atomic Disc are here!
They turned out looking even better than I had hoped.
Both of our albums, Triple Angel Rainbow and West Cozy, available now on one disc.
People still use CD's, right?
You can get your copy here at our new store!
