jon & liam "The result is what I’d imagine a genetic experiment involving Justin Vernon and Josh Arnoudse (of You Won’t) might produce. Heartfelt lo-fi rock with a folky edge, songs simple enough to sing along to but nuanced enough to demand you return."

Only Magic Left is Art Swim Lessons has the swag of back-to-basics acoustic Devendra Banhart Pre-Cripple Crow. It will make you nostalgic for that 2005 indie music era. However it will also make you deeply thankful we have this beautiful rich acoustic album by Swim Lessons to fill that shaky-vocal freak folk void. Favorite track: Someday.

Augustusmb A great and insanely underrated album. The lo-fi-ness perfectly accentuates the album's charm.

of wire and stone you will pull me down you will hold me down you’ll bury my head you’ll bury me underground you will lead me now you will leave me now on wings of fire and gold on wings of wire and stone i was walking a line i was walking a line i held my hand toward the night sky i was walking blind i was walking blind i held my hand toward the light

in the back seat i was in the backseat of a chrystler sedan covered head to toe in the blood of another man lord please forgive me i know not what i do i’m counting down the days til i see you now, we must go it’s not what we expected but it’s all we’ll ever know now, we’re on our own drowning in our sorrows from every lie we ever told i walked down to the river to rinse my hands clean and prayed to the lord above me “please let this soul sleep” but he had other plans now he had other plans for me it’s hard to think clearly when you still haunt my dreams now, we must go it’s not what we expected but it’s all we’ll ever know now, we’re on our own drowning in our sorrows from every lie we ever told
7.
i know, i know, i know i was raised to believe that the clouds and the trees were all one in the same in this world but you had it all wore the crown made of gold that i just cant hold up anymore lady i know i know i know you never wanna see me again you always try to hurt me not this time yeah i know i know i know you never wanna see me again you always try to hurt me not this time as the days fade away and love turns to pain you’re left here wondering why you ever came and the pain that you feel yeah it schemes and it steals all the love you ever had for me lady i know i know i know you never wanna see me again you always try to hurt me not this time yeah i know i know i know you never wanna see me again you always try to hurt me not this time
