Cemeteries is Kyle J. Reigle, whose debut album was one of our favorites of 2012. Foxes in Fiction is Warren Hildebrand, whose debut album was one of our favorites of 2010. Kyle has a release due out later this month under the side project Camp Counselors on his own Snowbeast Records. Warren has a release in the works as well as a showcase in Brooklyn this Saturday for his own Orchid Tapes. Busy, beautiful people.
