The Capstan Shafts is the musical project of Vermont native Dean Wells. Renowned for his prolific output, Wells is a musical Bukowski, with songs like the old drunk's short stories: low on length and conventional form, but highly literary and extremely satisfying. His albums have been released through a number of labels, including Kittridge, Asaurus Records, Abandoned Love Records, Fall of the West Records, Yellow Mica Recordings. His newest release is a part-compilation album through Rainbow Quartz Records. Read more on Last.fm
