Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
In 2016 the band once again escaped to their studio, By The Living Grace where they recorded and mixed their new album. In 2017 the band finally releases their second album ‘Augusta’ that pushes further their alt-country sound into new musical territory for the band incorporating pop, woodsy mid-tempo rock mixed with washes of violin, Wurlitzer/Rhodes flourishes, 4 part harmonies and reverb-laden vocals. The album represents the band expanding their alt-country roots incorporating pop and indie rock with the album fluctuating between acoustic laments: Wall and Come & See, forlorn mid tempo country/rock laments Pleasanton, Easy Heart and Canyons, country-indie rockers such as first single Horses, Broken Lines, and expansive sonic jams Nurse, Let Me Be and Yearling featuring the bands new found interest in mixing country and indie rock inside Americana.

about

first single from the album 'Augusta'
Video link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ti0gzLKyxiw

The song is about people ‘who are invisible’ where you have an attachment / relationship to them but at the same time feel nothing. The song uses metaphors of holiday vacations, my house getting broken into (did happen), thoughts racing through your mind like horses stampeding – are all events where events and memories blind you and you can’t think straight. Thus the imagery is a way of painting an abstract collapsing image of trying to make sense of everything rushing around in your head without really seeing any answer or clear direction. At the end of the chorus the line of ‘you’ll probably see that I don’t care’ sums up the entire song of just saying at the end of the day none of it means anything and essentially we are alone.

lyrics

Is there anybody out there
That I can see, something you need
Well it stampedes, through my skull
Like wild horses, what did they leave
My neighbor said someone
They broke in, stole all your things
And if you cared, to answer
What would that be, could you see

That I, Oh I
I’d probably see

Is there anybody out there
Can you hear it, buzzing through the air
And I was probably mean, but you’ll never see
That I don’t care

We put in for, our vacations
Like Halloween, and thanksgiving
Now the snowflakes, they drop
Upon the street, we woke up in scenes

If Wooden Shjips traded their sails for a prairie schooner, this is what you might hear them playing around the campfire at night on the Great Plains: homespun country-rock with a hint of psychedelia. Wonderful stuff, from start to finish. neu-mann

Meltdown

Be warned, there is a darkness at the heart of this album. To me it speaks to the bleakness and sickness of the human condition, howls its message at the turbulent sea, a bible opened forever at Revelations as the world, real or imagined, crumbles. Deeply personal and oblique this is one to return to and wonder at the meaning carved into the lyrics. A little work on behalf of the listener justifies a trove of rewards. Also, be sure to check out the video for “Vultures” on YouTube. halfpenny_wayne
