lyrics

Down along the outer islands, we were making friends with a bunch of pirate ghosts and a cat who dines on handouts from the tourists in their tactical khakis, and he is living better than most. And if you look across, you cannot see it, but it’s England, and the other side is the way we came on a boat where there was no one but the two of us and the captain and someone bringing over avocados from the mainland. And it’s hard, hard, hard to know which way to turn. Sally selling tacos came from Vegas, leaving behind her stand-up and all her friends and she is thinking of Bermuda as she folds up our burritos, waiting for a second hand sailboat to come in. You and me, we write it all down in our notebooks, saying, there’s a song in here, never mind the market’s glutted and the road will make you crazy and the good guys all turn into racketeers. There’s a lighthouse at the end of a dirt road, and there’s green grass growing all around, and as our boat pulls away from the harbor, the lighthouse watches but it doesn’t make a sound.

This is a very strong sophomore record - No sophomore slump here. This shows Gudasz' growth as a songwriter. She's branching out in different directions musically with some very cool production work. Some of the songs are even better than those from Oleander, her debut LP. While some of those sounds/textures are still present here, this record has some more challenging (and rewarding) results. For fans of Leonard Cohen, Sharon Van Etten, Aimee Mann and Joni Mitchell. travm0
