A noir-tinged Revolutionary War song-cycle about Agent 355—known more by a number than a name. Through candlelit rooms, coded manners, and quiet exchanges, a woman gathers what cannot be spoken and sends it onward in plain sight. The album leans into what history confirms, what it hints at, and what it leaves blank—honoring the unseen work that shaped outcomes without claiming applause. It closes from a present-day perspective, urging listeners to carry that same steady courage forward.

The Courier’s Turn

A literary, spiritual folk-rock song-cycle told by Eloise Dupree, tracing Phillis Wheatley’s inner life as her voice moves through rooms that praise her polish while resisting her personhood. The album follows the making of a poet—learning scripture and meter, shaping witness into verse, carrying words across oceans and into print—then turns toward benediction and a present-day charge: keep courage alive by living what the words demanded.

A Psalm in a Parlor

The House That Taught the Page

A winter-hardened song-cycle about Shays’ Rebellion, told from the ground level: veterans returning to farms that can’t carry new debts, families facing court orders, towns gathering to decide what fairness means when the war is over but hardship remains. Varrow’s voice follows the escalation from quiet strain to organized resistance, then steps into the present to ask what a nation owes ordinary people when systems turn cold.
