*"Jane" contains a recording we made of a wax cylinder at the National Music Centre in Calgary AB. The original wax cylinder plays "My Little Jane", written by Fleeson-Von Tilzer and performed by The Crescent Trio in 1921.
lyrics
This is what you want
you want to make the feeling stay
You've got it how you like it
You can't help thinking things will change
Everybody knows
you can take a picture
Show it to the future
it's never how it was
So I change my mind like every time
You keep asking me for forever
So I say I do and then I don't
and it only makes you want it more
Think of all the time wasted on the details
trivial minutiae
of things that never come
Wouldn't it be nice
making it a habit
Choosing to do nothing
Suspending disbelief
Jane, my little Jane
Just like music the sound of your name
Jane, my little Jane
You're like sunlight that follows the rain
I love you Jane

In this album, Emily pushes the boundaries of folk music, by weaving in different instruments and synths, to a great result. The highlight of the album is easily the irrevocable masterpiece 'World Traveller' Alex Marshall
My heart melts for 'Back to the Woods', and I would have ended up buying the CD even if it was just that song on it's own. Throughout the whole album, the melodies are incredibly smooth and textured, while the background instruments intimately fuse with the autoharp in the best possible way. Alex Marshall
The haunting new record from Canadian folk artist Avi C. Engel bridges old and new traditions with a minimalist approach. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 24, 2024
Sanguine but uplifting, the Toronto singer-songwriter's "transfigured" folk songs ponder existential themes with grace and wonder. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 21, 2023
Drift away with these dreamlike songs from reclusive folk singer CARLENE, who pairs evocative lyrics with hushed arrangements. Bandcamp New & Notable May 8, 2023
Beautiful and original showcase of the Rashomon Effect through music. The emotional depth and musical range Hannah displays is truly incredible. Easily in my top 5 albums of 2016. Thank you Hannah for this beautiful record. T.J. Dwyer
