Biography

One of the many criss-crossing collaborations between a number of '90s U.S. indie rock veterans, Pullman brought together Bundy K. Brown (Tortoise, Directions in Music, Loftus), Doug McCombs (Eleventh Dream Day, Tortoise, Brokeback), Chris Brokaw (Come, the New Year), and Curtis Harvey (Rex, Loftus). The members of Pullman had all played and/or toured together in some form or another throughout the '90s and recorded Turnstyles and Junkpiles in 1998, following with Viewfinder in 2001. Both records, released on Thrill Jockey, were conceived in the spirit of the group's favorite acoustic guitarists, including Nick Drake, Leo Kottke, John Fahey, Ry Cooder, and Richard Thompson. ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide

Pullman is an architectural term for a long, narrow space within a structure. It is most often used to refer to a small kitchen ("a pullman kitchen") or, sometimes, a narrow hall.

The word is derived from the long sleeping cars on passenger trains created by the Pullman Company during the 19th and 20th centuries.

Pullman kitchens are most common in apartments, where space is limited, to minimize the kitchen's impact on living spaces.
