Cotton Jones, an American indie folk band, was formed in 2008 in Cumberland, Maryland. The group initially consisted of Michael Nau on guitar and vocals, Whitney McGraw on keyboards, organ, and electronic autoharp, Todd Gowans on guitar, and Greg Bender on bass. Their debut album, The River Strumming, released in 2008 through St. Ives Records, was a hand-made package limited to only 300 copies and featured a blend of folk and psychedelic elements. The band's second LP, Paranoid Cocoon, released in 2009, marked their debut for Suicide Squeeze Records and showcased a reverb-drenched mix of folk-pop and heartland rock. Their third album, Tall Hours in the Glowstream, was released in 2010, and featured a dream-pop haze over classic country music. In 2012, they released "About the Game", a 7" record limited to only 500 copies.
