The Saddest Song
I’ll write the last song of summer, while you twirl my hair.
Tomorrow’s September, the leaves will turn amber, in the cold, cold air.
But you should know, Like all things, this summer must go.
You should know, Like all things, this summer must go.
The winter will bring home your sister, and like you she’s heaven sent.
And you’ll sleep alone child, like a big girl, this moment has come too soon.
But you should know, Like all things, this summer must go.
You should know, Like all things, this summer must go.
But you should know, Like all things, this summer must go.
You should know, Like all things, this summer must go.
And I should know, cause I’ve seen the Autumn before.

Recorded on the Grecian isle of Hydra, this is blissed-out psych pop with stacked falsetto harmonies and luscious arrangements. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 9, 2023
Two dozen 12-string acoustic improvisations that feel undeniably haunting, like lost transmissions from ancient Appalachia, rediscovered. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 17, 2022
