Songs in a Northern Key

These are songs about the weather, fish, telephones, cities, underwater caves, broken glass, insomnia, computers, moving, decaying wishes and aluminum dreams; although many might not see those things. So it follows that this record is a collection of the black and white, the broken and fixed, the banging, the blustering, the traveling, and the paternal. “Still Dream” sounds like Brian Wilson’s “In My Room” if Tom Waits wrote it and the room was an underwater cave. “Song” is an ode to those tunes that lodge themselves in your DNA. “Blackbird Fields” sounds like what a bird’s skeleton looks like and the apocalypse is now on “Let it all Come Down”.
