Heavy-hearted in the Midwest since 2011
David Salisbury, aka Camp of Wolves, works in memories both bittersweet and melancholy.

Read More Camp of Wolves : Bear CreekIt’s been quite the year for music, hasn’t it? There hasn’t been a shortage of great albums to hit my ears, which only makes the year-end that much harder.
