Hold On 03:08
old friend staring at pieces of your life in chains you were gathering forces and you were enraged upon your head drinking again these days all of the boulevards have sprouted weeds and I live under the sidewalk where I take my ease upon my head again but you stopped you crawled away false starts all I can say is hold on hold on

the grass that grew on my old bed was only for my head the holy three a family was lying in my bed with their eyes closed see it dance along the thin red line hold it oh until you're left behind you can call on me you can call on me you can call on me you can call the giving tree you gave to me a pocket full of lead the first degree indemnity I'll pray for you instead with my pockets full of lead see it dance along the thin red line hold it oh until you're left behind well, you can call on me you can call on me you can call on me yeah, you can call on me you can call (there's a muzzle on his mouth and chains on his feet...)

Regards 06:08
filing down the stair on an island so fair you can leave your doors open all day long sing me off the isle putting on my best smile hold me like the day the saints watched over me to you I send my regards on a wing in hope I'll spend no expense to keep you home though you saw him... to you I send my regards on a wing and I'll hope I'll spare no expense to keep you home though you saw him with his arms open wide the church bells ringing the choir was singing through the open windows as you passed us by so slowly walking barefoot on the lawn and hey you feeling alone somewhere life happening off somewhere else a lie a lie to you I send my regards if there's no hope say it to my face don't hide your own though you saw him with his arms open wide those church bells ringing the choir was singing through the open windows as you passed us by so slowly walking barefoot on the lawn

about

An aural postcard, these three songs were recorded live as a duo in Sebastopol, California. Rain was falling, frogs were croaking, and we were holed up in a small room overlooking the soggy world outside. When we got home and took a listen we decided to invite a few of our favorite artists, who we are lucky enough to call dear friends, to add something to each of them. On ‘Hold On’, Marië Abe played accordion and Elizabeth Goodfellow sang and played percussion. Our first cover, ‘The Thin Red Line’ was written by one of our favorite songwriters, Michael Bush, and features Dina Maccabee on violin. The title track features Jesse Olsen Bay on pump organ, and Beth on cymbals. The cover art was painted by David A. Soto.

A special edition of the EP is being released on cassette via the Touch Tapes label, featuring a fifteen minute Side B amalgam of sounds and songs of our past, present, and future.
