In the town where we both came from,
The resting place of the dead and lame,
Into the town that never changes,
Like a chameleon, oh yeah she came.
To the place of crooked strangers
With her retinue all in tow,
To cast pearls among the poor and dangerous
Who asked "How do you know the things you know?"
With a jetpack, like an angel,
Texting messages from beyond,
In the deserts where the trains dwell
She was sweet and cold as a pond
And I'll ask you not to repeat
All these praises I have sung,
Not to sprinkle in your notebook
Effusive heartblood that I've wrung
From these cliches and these stories
From these lies that I have spun.
Where she's gone to, I don't consider--
To some mountain all clothed in snow,
Or some world, 'midst space's glitter?
Well, I swear that I don't care to know.

TC Costello is a world-travelling troubadour, combining folk, world, and punk influences. This album is maybe his most psychedelic and has my favorite production of all of his stuff. Quark Lepton
Everything Marcum does is great. This one has a special place for me because it was exactly what I needed in 2020, during SC's brief lockdown. The vibe is chill, a little melancholy, a little funny. Quark Lepton
Working with Florist member Rick Spataro, Eva Louise Goodman delivers buoyant compositions that run the gamut of psych-pop, girl group, and folk. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jan 23, 2023
