Laufey x Matt Maltese - Unreleased song

Spend your birthday with me (Laufey unreleased)

Monday mornings (Laufey unreleased)

I’m breathing fading lines, blurred and cruel
Trapped in your buckshot eyes, a cruel soft hue
I can’t recall where we broke
My dear, don’t unspool me
Can I call it all a joke?
And you-
Just stay here and undo me

I don’t know where we start or end
My dear, don’t unspool me
In you, I find my shape again
My dear, say you didn't fool me

Green grows where our bodies once lay, was it true?
You wear your quiet prize, masking through

I know you are heaven sent
My dear, don’t unspool me
By you, stitched back to shape again
My dear, say you didn't fool me

Oh, what a waste—your heaven turns to splinters, always
Oh, what a way—to be bound to your hunger, your ache
Oh, what a way—to be guarding a heaven you made
Oh, what a place—you erase

I’m breathing fading lines, blurred and cruel
Trapped in your buckshot eyes, a cruel soft hue

MAINE 2025 SATURDAY WRAP PARTY JAMS

After all the effort to put on our annual show in the middle of the woods at the Silent Stage Theater, all the puppeteers, performers, stagehands, and audience deserve a big Wrap Party at Captain Dave’s log cabin porch to celebrate. These jams were extraordinary, thanks to the deep talents of the musicians and singers. And fun times had by all.

This music was recorded in August 2025, on an island in the middle of a big lake in Northwest Maine, where we’ve been gathering, thanks to the Loons, for decades. Many of these friends, musicians, and singers from Maine and from all over the country and abroad, hadn’t seen each other, much less played with each other, for at least a year. It’s all improvisation, Jams, not Performances, with no prior Rehearsals or Song Lists, so this is as real as it gets.

This album is arranged in the actual order in which the music was played, minus the many out-takes, but, when it’s all done, it seems I couldn’t have thought of a better order. The music is all acoustic Americana, though it ranges all over the place, from Bluegrass to Jazz to Folk to Country to Rock to Reggae, but it really works as an organic album, and that’s big for people like me, who still appreciate albums.

Sounds best, like you’re right on that island in Maine partying with us, when played on a good stereo with two separated speakers, left and right, or on a headset, or, one of my favorites, on a car stereo, so that this stereo recording will actually sound three-dimensional. You can hear the location of each instrument and singer. More than ever before, I was able to immerse myself (and my stereo pair of mics) into the belly of the music, literally surrounded by the musicians, the instruments, voices, and harmonies, so that, if you listen in true stereo, I can take you right in there with me.

On some songs, there’s a little too much chatter, but when you’re actually at a campfire, and people are talking, laughing, and partying, you filter that out, and the only thing you hear is the music. Crank it up, and let your imagination take you there, and enjoy. It’ll surprise you.
