about

Originally released by Mailbox Label

'Here is a lullaby
for all the angels
who never make it to the earth.

Here is a lullaby
to break your heart,
by which I mean only
that it break open and never close again
to the rest of the world'

(a free adaptation of a poem by Mary Oliver)

~ ~ ~

"The release comprises a single, but deeply affecting composition called 'O, Elisa' in both original and reprised form, accompanied by an adaptation of a poem by Mary Oliver that hints loss and healing with devastating poignancy. Recorded at the artist’s home, the music admits the listener into a quiet space of plaintive reflection where fluttering sweeps and splayed arpeggios of guitar radiate a warm light giving comfort and soothing repose."

- Brian Housman, Stationary Travels

"‘O Elisa’ is the sound of dancing sunbeams through shifting birdsong, cloud, and shadow: gorgeous, reflective, and hopeful. Fractals of shimmering light creating tiny patterns within patterns, as tempo and strumming sway and roll."

- Ryan Hooper, Medium
