Sure as the most certain sure, plumb in the uprights, well entretied, braced in the beams, stout as a horse, affectionate, haughty, electrical, I and this mystery here we stand. Walt Whitman--Song of Myself
Bio / Background
I. An Introduction to the Charles Allison catalogue.
Charles Allison really started making records in 1997 on a cassette 4-track machine in a big old house he shared with his siblings. For those songs and for the many songs he would write and record in the years following, he adopted the Kil Howlie Day moniker (a reference to an unofficial schoolboy holiday in Hawai'i, one of several places the Allison family was stationed during Charles' youth). From the very start, the Kil Howlie Day songs were infectious. Something about the timbre of Charles' voice made them both sad and fun at once. His guitar-playing style was diverse, swaying from the type of cranky snap I associate with early Liz Phair and Billy Bragg to the rounded pop of more-recent XTC. His lyrics were clever, his hooks were memorable, and his perfectionism was everywhere obvious.
