Cale Parks got his start as the drummer in the marching band-influenced indie group
Aloha. As the band worked on its fourth album,
Some Echoes (Polyvinyl Records, 2006),
Parks was busy at work on a collection of ambient tunes. The tracks piled up and eventually became a full-length album,
Illuminated Manuscript, which was released on Polyvinyl in September 2006. ~ Margaret Reges, All Music Guide
