Iron & Wine/Calexico - 'Fairytale of New York'

No One Will (Video link in description)

[Press 'Show More' for lyrics]

Iron & Wine's performance at the 4AD Session.

LYRICS:

Mary Anne, do you remember
the tree by the river
when we were seventeen?

Dark canyon wall, the call and the answer
and the mare in the pasture
pitch black and baring its teeth.

I recall the sun in our faces,
stuck and leaning on braces,
and being strangers to change.

Radio and the bones we found frozen,
and all the thorns and the roses
beneath your window pane.

Now I'm asleep in a car, I mean the world
to a potty-mouth girl,
a pretty pair of blue-eyed birds.

Time isn't kind or unkind, you liked to say.
But I wonder to who
what it is you're saying today.

Now I'm asleep in a car, I mean the world
to a potty-mouth girl,
a pretty pair of blue-eyed birds.

Time isn't kind or unkind, you liked to say.
But I wonder to who
what it is you're saying today.

Mary Anne, do you remember
the tree by the river
when we were seventeen?

Dark canyon road, I was coy in the half-moon;
happy just to be with you,
and you were happy for me.

Iron & Wine's performance at the 4AD Session.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGrcPRw6yYU#t=601

LYRICS:

Halfway home in the hilltop trees
And all our footprints in the snow
And the evening glow leaving

Low night noise in the wintertime
I lay beside you on the floor
Counting your breathing

Cause I can't see nothing in this half moon
Lay me down if I should lose you.

Halfway-working on a worn-out house
And all our friends the ragged crows
And aching bones whining.

Where are we when the twilight comes?
The dark of valley and the breeze
And the frozen leaves chiming?

Cause I can't see nothing in this half moon
Lay me down if I should lose you...

By the time he was 15, singer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Carter Tanton was already playing bar shows in his hometown of Baltimore.  Two years later, he caught the attention of Gary E. Smith, best known for discovering and producing The Pixies.  After working together for a year, they parted ways, but Tanton never slowed down.  In the mid-2000's he released a couple of EPs with his band Tulsa, prompting Rolling Stone's David Fricke to claim "…his indie-seraphim voice is not of this world…", and after a particularly impressive live set KEXP's John Richards said "…he's one of the best singer-songwriters in the country today."  Beyond his critical acclaim, Tanton's early work was cited as an inspiration by his old friend Adam Granduciel of The War on Drugs.  As Granduciel recalled in an interview with Pitchfork, "He was sleeping in someone's basement, playing every instrument, going through this breakup,...That was the first time I saw someone make music obsessively. I’d never seen anyone living inside of something, to that level."  

Over the years, Tanton has toured and recorded with numerous artists including Marissa Nadler, Strand of Oaks, Lower Dens, and The War on Drugs. In 2012, he assembled Freeclouds, his first collection of songs for Western Vinyl.  A couple of years later, Tanton moved to England where he wrote all of the songs on his new album Jettison the Valley. The change of environment, and his rediscovery of early British influences including Richard Thompson, Nick Drake and John Cale sparked a powerful shift in perspective, which led him to write his most cohesive and personal work to date.  Other than the pedal steel featured on two songs, Tanton engineers and plays every instrument on the album.  His old friend and collaborator Marisa Nadler contributes lead vocals to "Jettison the Valley", and Sharon Van Etten sings on "Twenty-Nine Palms" and "Through the Garden Gates".   

More about Jettison the Valley in his own words: 
"Jettison the Valley began in a little dot of a town outside Bristol called Hambrook in the Fall of 2013. I had just moved to England with my girlfriend where we lived in a caravan on her family's plot of land with the M5 motorway on one side, and a horse farm on the other.  To get away from the incessant low rumbling of cars, I often walked along the area's ancient public footpaths that carve strange ways through the countryside. On those walks, my previous 30 years in America billowed and collapsed in front of me. As I stood there in the blowback, the constant push of time seemed to finally relent, and I found enough distance from it to see my past in clear broad strokes.  After a few months we moved to Oxford and lived in a little attic apartment up on a hill. I spent most days watching the weather roll through the valley and writing these songs about my relationship ending.  Eventually, I felt I had to come back to the states to record them.  I consider this my first solo record. The other two releases I've put out under my own name since 2005 were simply collections of scattered recordings, mixtapes essentially. Jettison was written in one long sitting, each song feeding the next."  

Carter Tanton - "Twentynine Palms ft. Sharon Van Etten"

As released via Stereogum January 29, 2016:

After over 10 years of work on one song, Brooklyn-based indie-pop band Frances Cone are ready to release “Arizona,” the sincere, artfully crafted single off their upcoming album Late Riser. The song was mixed by Dan Molad of Lucius and mastered by Dave Cooley, who has worked with Animal Collective and Local Natives. “Arizona” tells the story of lead singer Christina Cone’s brother, the filmmaker Stephen Cone, and his experience growing up with a Southern Baptist preacher as a father. She shared a statement about the track:

“Arizona” is a song that’s been swirling around and building up in my brain for the past 10 years or so. In my late teens, I spent a week in the southwest with my brother and as a person initially very comfortable/secure with our Southern Baptist upbringing, my belief structure suddenly got pretty rattled for a variety of reasons, including meeting his first boyfriend. All the mountains of ideology I’d pretty blindly built up over the years were suddenly paper thin and almost everything changed. That time was so important to me and my brother is so important to me — it all became the groundwork of who I am, and is Arizona in song form.
“Arizona” is carried by Cone’s melodic vocals, rich harmonies, and an electrifying guitar sound. As the song builds up to the repetition of “I’m so sorry you couldn’t speak,” it is impossible to ignore the genuine emotion in Cone’s voice. Listen below.

Lyrics:
soft velvet and candle light 
little fears that you keep inside
everything that was there before
well it feels just like a fantasy  

(you) don’t keep desire on high display
young slave and her mary kay
held you up on st andy’s cross
and it feels just like a dream you said

"all my friends, all my enemies 
all wrapped up down in front of me 
all red white 
all so good to be  
free from every desire"

black sheets cover morning light 
old secrets that never die
all the shame that was there before 
well it feels just like my fantasy

when I was on my knees well then where were you
trading places for someone new 
and every time you come crawling down 
well it feels just like a dream you said

"all my friends, all my enemies 
all tied up down in front of me  
all bled white 
all so good to be 
free from every desire"

what would I lie for?

Hummingbird - Six Points Of Tabligh

The very first mix from Edwin HQ features Vidal Benjamin.

Raised on disco’s chubby bosom from a very young age, Vidal Benjamin (Tigersushi Bass System/Noncollective/Blackdisco) has always considered this musical genre as the home port to his many sonic journeys.

He was initiated to balearism and house during a trip in Ibiza in 1988 and his selections reflect these musical tendencies while surpassing them through each of his new vinyl record discoveries. He gained an international reputation via his mixes for his NY friend, Lovefingers. These days he’s an active member of a posse of aesthetes who aren’t bound by frontiers or genres.
