January 27th, 2007 - San Francisco

Human Like a House is the debut album from the effortlessly charming San Francisco duo The Finches. It gracefully rides the line between folk and pop, and singer/songwriter Carolyn Pennypacker Riggs brings to mind such unclassifiable wonders as and Vashti Bunyan, the Marine Girls,Mirah. Together with Aaron Morgan (Roots of Orchis), The Finches musical storytelling has attracted fans both near and far.
The Finches self-released CD EP sold over 1200 copies without any distribution and they've performed with many of their peers including Jose Gonzalez, Mt. Eerie, The Evens, Magnolia Electric Co., and Michael Hurley. Now Dulc-i-Tone Records has stepped in to bring their fine talents to the world with the release of Human Like a House on January 30, 2007.
Aside from songwriting duties, Carolyn, who also works with artist Keegan Mchargue, creates all the artwork for The Finches releases. Human Like a House is packaged in a deluxe chipboard digipack featuring twelve of Carolyn's beautiful woodcut drawings.
The album features Alissa Anderson of Vetiver playing cello on "Two Ghosts", but the album is literally a family affair: Chiefly recorded by Aaron's father, David Morgan, Human Like a House features both members' mothers on backing vocals, and Carolyn's mother Susan Riggs also lends her recorder talents to the albums centerpiece, "The House Under the Hill".
