Cut and Run
Cut and Run was recorded by Caleb and the band at Queensize Studios in Indianapolis. It was released on Young American Recordings in 2008.
Allmusic: “With the deliberate unraveling of Neil Young, the off-kilter, obtuse poetry of Pavement, and the lush insistence of Arcade Fire, the music of the Silver State plays like the most adamant lullaby, creeping in quietly, but subtly vibrant enough to command attention.”

Deli Magazine: "...subdued indie-pop gem in the vein of Grandaddy and Air. Sincere male and female harmonized voices tie together the many musical ingredients at work, ranging from a rootsy overall attitude to psychedelic-ish instrumental breaks with minimalistic electronic flourishes."

Various Selections
Hologram was an indie-rock trio from Brooklyn, NY, active between 2008 and 2011, and comprised of Caroline Potter, Ryan Trott and Caleb Lindskoog. They came onto the scene during a surge of DIY “bedroom” recording artists, lo-fi and garage rock bands. While recording and mixing their songs, Caleb carved a specific sonic place within this broader genre for the band to stand out in their sound. In studio and on stage, the three members would also often switch instruments. All of Hologram’s music (save their last EP) was recorded, mixed and mastered by Caleb. Some of those songs are featured here.
