Description: Hey everyone! I have a track on a new compilation from 4! There are a bunch of great artists on it so download or grab a cassette at https://4fctrl.bandcamp.com/

really soothing melody great effect also!

Love that swell! The droney synth is an excellent touch. The lead guitar line is excellently composed but I think mixed just a smidge too loud.

The guitar is mixed a touch too loud but the composition is excellent. Very sadcore ;(

Fire (single mix)

this is a song i wrote for my friend who is across the sea right now and i miss her a lot

====

since you left, 
it's been so hard to figure myself out
and since you've left,
i've cast a steady doubt upon myself

the bandages of words
too few and far between to stitch my body up
and words will fail
to bridge the tidal waves that stand between us

for the last time we stumbled into grace
i found it hard to ignore the thunder in your face
weather changes as the weather is wont to do
i don't want to, i don't want to anchor you 

we wore us out
you fit me perfectly, and i fit you
under the stars
i dug myself a deep, deep grave, too

i tried hard
to stem the bleeding, but i cut too far
cut my hair, 
and other things to stay alive when you depart

for the last time we stumbled into grace
i found it hard to ignore the thunder in your face
weather changes as the weather is wont to do
i don't want to, i don't want to anchor you 

it's been a while
and i don't claim to know much more
but i do hope
you'll come home happy and unfragmented and whole

for the last time we stumbled into grace
i found it hard to ignore the thunder in your face
weather changes as the weather is wont to do
i don't want to, i don't want to anchor you 

for the last time we stumbled into grace
i found it hard to ignore the thunder in your face
weather changes as the weather is wont to do
i don't want to, i don't want to anchor you

From the 2010 album Singing Ax on Western Vinyl

LP: http://westernvinyl.com/shop/wv78
iTunes: hyperurl.co/6irvmp

J. Tillman's 7th full-length record is called Singing Ax and was recorded in three days, February 2010, by Steve Albini at Electrical Audio in Chicago. Bob Weston mastered the album. If you are pressed for time, tracks 2 “Diamondback”, 4 “One Task”, and 6 “Tillman's Rag”, should give you a general idea what the record's about. Very few of the songs feature accompaniment, though a few include mellotron and drum machine (track 1, “Three Sisters”, for example). There is something of a drum explosion at the conclusion of track 11 “A Seat At The Table”. The lyrics are predominately third-person narratives, save for a few stock-in-trade existential musings, such as the title track.

This is a recording of the first ever Death Cab for Cutie show. It was made by our friend Trevor Adams on his dictaphone at The Pacer House in Bellingham, Washington on November 22, 1997. Sprawled across couches and sitting crosslegged on the floor were 25 of our closest friends and fellow musicians. Everyone played acoustic or semi-acoustic with no PA. Trevor made and passed bowl after bowl of microwave popcorn because he was (and I assume still is) a great host. 

Chris Walla and I had just finished the You Can Play These Songs with Chords cassette and we thought it would be fun to play a few shows around Bellingham to celebrate the release. We recruited Nick Harmer to play bass and Walla’s childhood friend Nathan Good to play drums. None of us thought we were starting a band nor did our ambitions for DCfC extend very far past this particular evening. We simply thought it would be fun to play these songs for our friends before moving on to other things. 

I remain forever grateful to Trevor for inviting us to play in his living room 20 years ago today. It was one of the greatest nights of my life at the time and its significance has only grown since.
