I haven't been myself in years now
I hate to think that I have let me down
sliding on tracks of my own tears now
if I could finish just one goddamn song
it wouldn't take long
before the whole thing derails
in delight
sheltered from the hail


ain't it a life of foolish hunger
you twist your own arm just to feel the burn
and when he's wrapped around you for the meantime
you drift into a thoughtless dream of fight
you know it by the sight
of your efforts growing pale
on a night drenched in bitter ale


was it a crack of lightless thunder
that pulled you from a weightless imagery
and when you find yourself you wonder
do you wake him just to tell him what you've seen?
you know it's just a dream
but what really does that mean?
just a dream
what can it mean?

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.

Highly Likely

take back what i said
i wanna take away the pain
keeping me on read
you said you wouldn't play those games

where're you riding around
what's it like
in your town


whether you go or stay
it doesn't matter anyway
all i get from you is a song
and that'll last me even longer

than if we ride
all around
in our hometown


snow is on the ground
tea is in the pot
i miss you a lot
in case you forgot

so i'll ride all around
the streets
of my hometown
