SHANA CLEVELAND is a rare artist who seems dismissive of time. She's been performing with a rotating batch of musicians tagged as THE SANDCASTLES for over six years, and yet Oh Man, Cover The Ground is their first proper album.

It would be easy to chalk up the delay behind the debut to a slacker lifestyle-Oh Man, Cover The Ground's laid-back vibe certainly suggests an extremely casual approach to songcraft.

But SHANA CLEVELAND is no slacker. In the years since she first started playing out under her own name, she's helmed a number of other music projects; most notably her revered Girls In The Garage-inspired band LA LUZ.

In her downtime, she's crafted a set of 37 trading cards dedicated to obscure acoustic guitarists and a calendar of drawings depicting rock bands of yesteryear.

The glacial pace of Oh Man, Cover The Ground's development has little to do with work ethic and everything to do with doing things in a way that feels right.

Oh Man, Cover The Ground came together according to its own clock and calendar, and consequently feels removed from the bustle of everyday life.

"I think these songs have a lot to do with the weirdness of being inside your own head all the time in the outside world.

Sort of an internal monologue of thoughts I have but wouldn't say. It's about laziness, and lust, and wanting to eat other people's food when it looks better than mine."
