Brother leaving for South Korea
When he’ll return I’ve no idea
Singing his way into good fortune
On television we’ll all be watching
Secretly I am fearful he’ll build a home there
Mother dreaming of South Korea
Worried as ever when I’d last seen her
Assures me that I’d do best to feel free
When choosing a town where I’ll finish my degree
I know I should go, but I can’t bear to leave her alone here

small town church for sale
sold to dave and abigail
at the edge of a cliff by County road
it needed some work but it was all they could afford
the pews were badly burned
half the roof had caved but dave seemed unconcerned
and he said,
honey as long as we're together
every day's a new adventure
dave and gail forever
every night that year
dave and gail laughed til the moonlight disappeared
and they ate breakfast with the birds each morn
then one day the twins were born
and dave said,
honey as long as we're together
every day's a new adventure
dave and gail forever
they raised the boys inside the ruin
but gail began to doubt what she was doing
she got sick of sleeping on the floor
and threatened to walk out the door
dave said he could change his ways
and underneath the moonlight, he begged gail to stay
but she said "don’t give me that tired old,
'honey as long as we're together
every day's a new adventure
dave and gail forever'"

Makeshift Future

With cathartic guitar work and pristine harmonies throughout, this album feels like a cosmos of beautiful sounds that come together in a perfect cohesive euphony - telling stories, conjuring up mysterious imageries, giving hope and comforting a grieving heart. There are moments of weightlessness and warmth in the sparse notes and a sudden gush of emotions in the lush instrumentations. For a debut record, this serves as a sincere promise and I really look forward to what's next on the horizon

Here in the Pitch
by Jessica Pratt
On her fourth album, Jessica Pratt blends up 60s pop and bossa nova into a spooky mix of soft psychedelia.

Absolutely stunning and one of the wildest things I've heard in a while. Think the eclectic yet totally successful experimentation of Bjork plus the neo-classical, mythical, almost fairy tale vibes of Joanna Newsom, but with an even more beautiful voice, and you're pretty close. Also some interesting spoken-word interludes that are strangely riveting. Serious AOTY contender.
