Comin' up second to my ghost.
He's callin' my name, so I riposte.
Have you ever seen yourself so pale before?
Does it always seem to let you down?
Doesn't it show it's more than you know?
More than you'd ever try?
Jubilee. Jubilee.
Do you believe? Do you believe?
Am I free? Am I free?
Jubilee. Jubilee.
Every day doubtful of my heart.
Is it a specter, or my art?
Do you ever see me in your photographs?
Can you ever feel I'm not there?
Doesn't it show it's more than you know?
More than you'd ever try?
Jubilee. Jubilee.
Do you believe? Do you believe?
Am I free? Am I free?
Jubilee. Jubilee.

Raw, tense, and intensely pretty, the first of Coed Pageant's four Seasons EPs is as cold as the months it's named for, but leaves your ears warm with melancholy. The sound of winter in the midwest. Oust
Slush is a collage of gorgeous contrasts: electric riffs waver over the polished vocal surface; harmonies whisper under crashing metal. Big Hush sings sympathy to a city changing under its own feet. Oust
This heavy 2009 album from The Wooden Sky is as lyrically full as it is atmospheric. Delicate harmonies and careful synth hold together a web of everything rustic and wise. Listen closely. Oust
If you have a fondness for expertly wrought roots-rock with sharp lyrics and aching vocals, look no further—“Strangers” is for you. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 8, 2022
The latest from Jessica Pratt retains the sense of mystery that characterized her previous albums, adding expansive arrangements. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 6, 2019
