lyrics

Now that you live in my chest, everywhere we sit is a mountain top. What used to be pain is a lovely bench where we rest under the roses. A left hand has become a right, a dark wall, a window, a cushion in a shoe heel, the leader of the assembly. Intelligence and silence, intelligence and silence. What we say is poison to some and nourishing to others. What we say is a ripe fig, but not all birds that fly eat figs.

ALOUD
by Advrb

ADVRB is Andrew Barton, my frequent producer. His stuff is all great earnest jangling wonder, and the new demo has some real kick to it (and is about his and my high school romance.) Pegasissy

Post-Empire
by Will Stratton

Will and I were pals in college. His songs and playing are so excellent and beautifully composed, and feel to me like going for a foggy walk in a Carhartt jacket. Pegasissy
