The music of Manatee Commune, a.k.a. Grant Eadie, is influenced by the rainy woods and stormy waters of his home town, Bellingham, Washington. Bright, downtempo percussion is placed neatly under classically influenced viola melodies, while surfy guitar licks and undulating waves of sound echo the environment of The Pacific Northwest.

The results are both easily listenable and complex - evoking a stroll through the forest, immersed in nature and lost in self-reflective thought.
