Randal Prater (aka: Linus Radford in Second Life) writes songs that weave indie, shoegaze, psychedelic, mope rock, and singer-songwriter sensibilities into one handsome carrying case and then tosses it in the nearest river to see where the stream will take it. Influences include John Lennon, Marc Bolan, Patti Smith, Steve Kilbey, PJ Harvey, and Rob Dickinson, among others. Randal wrote and recorded three albums with Creeping Myrtle and one with The Pagan States before releasing his first solo album in 2008 called Falling To Pisces and following it up with his second solo album on November 25, 2009 called Second Tuesday Of Never.
