Lost Wisdom

VINYL FORMAT. Insound Staff Pick - 2008! The LP version of this comes with a 24x36 inch double sided poster with all the lyrics and a painting and a photo. White vinyl. Elegant and raw. Lost Wisdom is comprised of 10 songs recorded quickly and quietly during a surprise visit by Julie Doiron, keeper of the world's greatest and saddest voice, and Fred Squire, hidden guitarist of the floating riff, in a small wooden room in Anacortes, Washington before they returned home to eastern Canada. Songs with the expression of the face of a baby in a burning world, in the swirling dust. They hang on a theme of impermanence and destroying forces. The river is revealed to be going right through the house, the river of inevitable chaos, sorrow and love. Julie Doiron is a legitimate music legend. Not only are her solo albums the greatest but she is also in the band Eric's Trip. This is a big deal. Fred Squire is called "hidden" here because he plays so gently and has primarily lived in extremely small Canadian towns.
