(LOCAL) Soupy, lyrical lo-fi indie folk ballads. Dark, gripping, melodically repetitive, and highly narrative small-town vignettes of the Tom Dooley school. Low energy throughout, with guitar and voice only.
FCC: 4, 7. Pick: 5
All songs are musically similar, so here are some Cliffs Notes:
1. 4:34 "The Priest & The Bride"
Tragic; Officiant falls in love with bride, is killed by mob.
2. 4:14 "The Fireman's Wife"
Tragic; Depressed fireman kills self, widow and detective meet, fall in love, and are poisoned by adopted kids.
3. 3:39 "Cowboy John"
Tragic; Heroic cowboy leaves town, narrator's daughter dies, narrator finds and kills cowboy for not saving his daughter.
4. (FCC ind.) 3:27 "House Carpenter"
Tragic; Carpenter's wife leaves, he sets their daughter to sea, looks for new wife.
*5. 2:51 "Jimmy Head"
Silly; Tired fellow meets bed-collector and compulsive liar.
6. 2:39 "I Drove My Car Into A Tree"
Dreamy; Narrator drives into a tree, muses, and drives home.
7. (FCC ind.) 4:29 "Want Some Rain"
Lazy and happy; Narrator learns ladie's-man-edness from the milkman.
8. 3:30 "The Drinker"
Dreamy; Disaffected man gets drunk, leaves bar, muses.
