each day a new one
each day a new sun
shining through your blinds
wishing you were still mine
keeping you locked in my arms
keeping our love from harm
well it's been raining today
through the peeks and springs it's gray

shouldn't have
shouldn't have
shouldn't have
shouldn't have come

Dex Wolfe is a Seward-based multi-instrumentalist that has been a mainstay of the Minneapolis music scene for years. In acts such as
Rivers and Undlin & Wolfe, he embraced a lush, pastoral folk sound, but as he’s ready to release music under his own name, Wolfe experiments with darker, at times more complicated, tones. His debut EP Lightness showcases Wolfe’s dynamic ability to weave jazz, post-rock, and bits of folk music. The opening track “Lightning” is filled with frayed guitar plucks that stagger along, while fuzzy synth wails threaten to plunge the song into abysmal gloom. Although Wolfe doesn’t spare us from any somber or chaotic moments at the EP’s beginning, he does eventually guide us into tranquility with the closer “Love Breaks.” Lightness is a prologue, a tenebrous maze that exits into a graceful clearing, and an intricate glimpse into Dex Wolfe’s elaborate work to come.

people go, people go, they race, they pace, they miss the grace, the lightning show
they walk, they talk, they walk and talk, they need the speed through telephones, they talk, they talk
even speed, even speed, in dire need of dire need, oh even speed
the lightning glows, the lightning shows itself, expands itself, oh goes the lightning show
entirety, entirety, i want to be entirely entirety
they miss or dismiss while speaks the god, remiss, they miss the mist, remiss, remiss

highly likely under all of the circumstances in which we find ourselves
where did the water part, why did the dumbass repeat
is this the sun in the sky blinding my brain, tell me why
i only wanna feel high like a wind, like a love, like a lie
i only wanna feel high, now let me lie
asking, don’t leave, tell me under the circumstances in which you found yourself
were you in darkness then, is this the end that you sought
tell me the whole reason why you only wanna get high
are you just the type of guy trying, to not wanna try to be here
to be loved, to be light
i only want to be light
i only want to be light
to be in love, to be alive
why can’t we all be alright, why can’t we
