Two Falling Ribbons

Produced by Colin Stewart (Black Mountain, Cave Singers) at The Hive in Vancouver, Oh Fortune carries collaborations from many esteemed improvisational and experimental musicians including Eyvind Kang (Beck, Bill Frisell, Marc Ribot, John Zorn), Jesse Zubot (Nels Cline, Mats Gustafsson), Gord Grdina (Gary Peacock, Paul Motian), Kenton Loewen (Mats Gustafsson, Jerry Granelli), JP Carter (Fond Of Tigers, Inhabitants) and Peggy Lee (Wayne Horvitz, Veda Hille).

Currents of mortality, isolation, and desperation run through the album, and yet its title comes from a reflection of a ticker-tape parade celebrating the return of Gertrude Ederle to the United States in 1926. For a heartbeat, she was the country’s biggest celebrity. She had just become the first woman to swim the English Channel, and simultaneously the new world-record holder (previously held by a man).

There exists in Oh Fortune this chaos of juxtaposition. It could be taken as a sad or dark album, yet musically it kicks with more ferocity and tenacity than people may expect from Mangan. It debates melancholy while it anticipates incredible moments of glory and victory. It’s not sad, it’s simply honest. 

06 Starts With Them, Ends With Us

On a rainy day, we took it to the museum
what did Lolo say, as we tripped into impressionism?
I looked up and saw “Young Woman with Ibis” by Edgar Degas
yeah the ruby red birds, with the woman lost in thought
 
Maybe I should hear her words
see she is in the wilds
they’re a bright blur
yeah she is in the wilds
and she’s swaying in the storm
and I’m watching her thoughts form
they’re a bright blur
see she is in the wilds and the wilds are in her
 
On a sunny day, we took it to the secret beach
what did Lolo say? Was she somehow somewhere out of reach?
I look up and see the moon in Sagittarius at 29 degrees
from the ruby red sun that hangs over the scene
 
Maybe I should hear her words
see she is in the wilds
they’re a bright blur
yeah she is in the wilds
and she’s swaying in the storm
and I’m watching her thoughts form
they’re a bright blur
see she is in the wilds and the wilds are in her
 
Hallelujah, by and by
through the trees, I can see the sky
and all the birds in the canopy seem to be
communicating
are they talking to me? Cuz I am in the wilds
 
C’mon baby take a chance
at maybe making some cosmic romance
it’s all oceanic, wait and see
it’s communicating
and right before I panic I say
“I am in the wilds and the wilds are in me”

📝 Lyrics:

Oh little dove, above the flood
don’t come down
but keep your flight within sight
of the sunken ground.

water climbing higher
as your wings cut through sky
waiting on my rooftop
just trying to stay dry.

when it comes, no one will
lift us up, from where we fell
nothing to keep and nothing is safe
from the flood
from the flood

You can’t outrun, a fading sun
so let down your guard.
I won’t forget, but I can live
with my battle scars.

water climbing higher
as your wings cut through sky
waiting on my rooftop
just trying to stay dry.

when it comes, no one will
lift us up, from where we fell
nothing to keep and nothing is safe
from the flood
from the flood
