“Wimbish employs as many as 20 instruments per track, yet the arrangements are judicious when they need to be…and frenetic enough to hint at Neutral Milk Hotel’s controlled pandemonium when required.”

✪ Shuffle Magazine CD Review

“Horns, strings both plucked and bowed, glockenspiels and a host of keys all settle comfortably into place beneath Wimbish’s fluttery lilts and shouted, sometimes stream-of-consciousness refrains. Empty space amidst the complex arrangements is used to startling effect,”

Bio

The Collection is something of a band or a community or a party from Greensboro, North Carolina. They bond with instruments and puns and play music that sounds a little like a train-hopping vagabond tripped over a drum-set and fell into the orchestra pit. Their live show feels a mix between Charlie Brown’s band and a live game of Tetris, but in some kind of wild multiplayer mode where everyone can participate in whatever way they’d like. Drink a beer? Wanna dance? Ready to sleep? You can do whatever you want while watching or listening to The Collection. They just ask that you be the most real and honest version of yourself possible, and that you don’t take life too seriously. Cheers!
