The chamber pop ensemble Brown Recluse began as a duo (Timothy Meskers and Mark Saddlemire) in 2006, but soon after expanded to a more appropriate line-up of six. The group released two EPs (Black Sunday and Soft Skin) of shimmering, breezy pop before developing a full-length release. That album became known as Evening Tapestry and followed in the long line of ornate pop music. 30-second sound samples were made available on Midheaven prior to the album's release.
