Pastoral folk-pop duo
the Skygreen Leopards formed in 2001 in California.
Glenn Donaldson (
Thuja,
Blithe Sons,
Ivytree, etc.), co-founder of the Bay area experimental folk label Jewelled Antler, and
Donovan Quinn (
Verdure) released their first collection of improv folk -- some of the music/ambience is recorded outdoors, while the bulk is laid down on an old reel-to-reel -- called
Life & Love in Sparrow's Meadow and
I Dreamt She Rode on a Pink Gazelle & Other Dreams, as well as a handmade vinyl 12" called Child God in the Garden of Idols that same year. In 2003 the group put out Story of the Green Lamb & the Jerusalem Priestess of Leaves in 2002, followed by
One Thousand Bird Ceremony in 2004.
Life & Love in Sparrow's Meadow and
Jehovah Surrender arrived in 2005, followed by
Disciples of California in 2006. ~ James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide
