Oyster mushrooms and bok choy. The women in my life are talking to each other. My little baby boy is crying on my shoulder. We built a perfect place for walking in circles, and now we've got the time.

Hey Delicious, I make an observation. I traded my youth, for you. Appreciate you saying It didn't mean anything to you Different ways that's true. It did to me so I write it down now that you're through Show it to you. Hey Delicious, I trade my youth It's what we do. Appreciated playing, and the melancholy truth The Queens basement blues It sticks with me so I write it down Show it to you I show it to you.

about

Enjoy the texture and ache of a midwestern yesteryear.

These ten songs were recorded with Fowler and Aarstad sitting side by side; intimate takes capture the players' breathing, the creaking of their chairs, and —for better or worse— every nuance of their performances. They pair twin fingerpicked acoustic slide guitars; a resonator and a standard steel string. A calfskin bass drum stomps along, an old and unobtrusive companion. The music weds blues and ragtime structures while slipping down the occasional post rock rabbit-hole.
