Like a ghost
you're seeing into me
more than I ever let anyone see
Like a stone
at the bottom of a lake
I never thought anyone would find me
Solitary days
imagining a dream
I cast my line and then I pulled you up
A beauty lost
entangled in the weeds
I look at you and all I see is me
Every time
I struggle with the clash
between devotion and autonomy
What if this love
will only wear me down
and make a skeleton of me again
Despite it all
there is a greater pull
to take the risk than to go on alone
So let's meet high
like eagles in the air
and fall together in a tangled pair
Even if
it takes all night to do
I'll stay up talking it over with you
Take your heart
and tap it like a drum
or like a tree that cries for spring to come

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
