Pilot House by Gifts or Creatures
In January 2010 Brandon and Bethany Foote entered Ann Arbor's Backseat Productions with a collection of newfangled songs and a close-knit crew of friends, including Seth Bernard (Seth & May) and Trevor Hobbs (Breathe Owl Breathe). After a long weekend, Gifts or Creatures compiled the core of what would become their debut album 'Pilot House'.
