Dear Carlotta

Another single from the record. It’s perhaps my favorite - never has a song I’ve written felt so specific and alive and out of my hands, full of wind and circumstance. Maybe that’s what a good love song is supposed to do. Thanks for listening.

What a time to be alive !

Filmed by @c.m.sutton live in @mr.luke_temple’s studio. We tracked every song on the record just like this.

Engineered and produced by @mr.luke_temple

@bennybock on piano
@alanshampton on double bass
@abester8 on drums

Gargantua ! The title track and first single to my new record coming out next month.

A breathing moving thing, an amalgamation, a whimsy window open shot into an instant, into life- this life, a gargantuan created thing. I hear my years of living and loving and losing and learning in this music, alchemized into melody, heralded by a moment, each song a collection of found things.

We recorded the entire record live, to tape, in a few days last fall at the wizardry of @mr.luke_temple. No comping, no headphones, a band bleeding into each other, the windows of song and groove wide open. It feels rare. I arrived there once all the looking was done - and I think what you hear is all of us there, just finding.

These past years I’ve learned to relate to my art as a form that can hold the life I live, and I hear that choice, that growth, in this music. I’m really proud of it. When i let go of holding up ends to the creative things i do- a career, a livelihood, a version of success - and i met myself in these songs every day, they in turn had so much space to welcome my joy, my longing, my groove, my flow, so much of my heart. When they met others- this super band- the songs unfolded into kind of natural place of their own.

Thank you @mr.luke_temple for producing, engineering, and intuiting so much

So grateful to know and make music with these guys:
Abe Rounds @abester8 on drums
Benny Bock @bennybock on keys
Alan Hampton @alanshampton on upright bass

Master by @jackdoutt

whimsical whirlwind ! a shot in the wild. I am so grateful that @bergmanama let me join and sing and ramble across her European tour with her

I sang and I offered the songs from my new record to full rooms of strangers- a gift to be able to meet my songs like that, to meet new people, to meet old friends, to meet myself

I can’t wait to show you what we’ve made, this record. It’s a room in my heart with the windows wide open.

Thank you to all who listened, who gave me their ears. A wise friend told me that the only thing that mattered were the words I sang, that I meant them. I really did- they were for us. thank you

To sing in rooms full of people, to sing to you ! There is so much wind in me I have to share

I’m going on tour next week - to learn again about what can happen when my little acts of presence and prayer (to sing! to song!) meets you and your generous listening ears. What more what less can we give in times like these than our time, our listenership?

I’m so grateful to support @bergmanama - because I’m a big fan and because her songs feel like kin

See you so soon !
