Bio:

Taigá is a Redmond, Washingtion based band led by musician/songwriter Jonathan Spruance. Their first studio album "Twelve Sketches" was released in winter of 2010. Contributors to this record include Sean Robinson (flutes/mixing) and Chad Lindhorst (mixing) from Landlord's Daughter, and several other Seattle-area musicians. The music evokes northern, snow-laiden landscapes and draws from influences such as 60s psychodelic rock, 70s prog rock, spaghetti western soundtracks, soviet film soundtracks, jazz and folk music. The second album is already written and the early stages of recording are under way.

Taiga (pronounced /ˈtaɪɡə/, Russian: тайга́; from Turkic[1] or Mongolian), also known as the boreal forest, is a biome characterized by coniferous forests.
