peter and the wolf is the american folk band formed by musician red hunter .
hunter says about his song writing , `` i carry a journal everywhere with me .
i will stop in the middle of whatever i 'm doing to write down an idea , whether it 's something i think about , hear , observe , or whatever .
it 's my highest priority to make sure i capture these ideas , as the craft of songwriting is a lifelong pursuit '' .
the band 's record label offers early demos called `` peter and the wolf '' and `` experiments in junk '' , but the first official cd released was `` lightness '' .
after the release of `` lightness '' the band performed several shows in graveyards , islands , as well as more regular venues .
`` the ivori palms '' became the act 's second official release in september 2007 , followed by `` mellow owl '' and `` traffique 's endless weekend mixtape '' , the newest album , `` easy mountain '' , was released in december , 2011 .
`` mellow owl '' was written and recorded on a farm in canada , and an undisclosed location in vermont , according to liner notes .
as red hunter told splice today in a recent interview , `` i 'm trying out all kinds of new stuff here to see what works .
i 'm really influenced by these native dudes i met in fiji who sang super mellow beach harmonies , so i guess it 'll be some island jams . ''
