Downside Up (Peter Gabriel Cover)

This is the first single from the June 2015 album release, "Stars and Dust" by Songs of Water

The skeletons grew skin
Dirt gave birth to eyes
The blind could see again 
For the very first time

The colors coming back
To a pale midnight view
I forgot myself
I was caught staring at you
						
One foot upon the earth
One foot disappears
What I thought was just a moment
Became 500 years

And I could stay even longer
So long as you are here
You can draw the backdrop whatever
So long as you stay near

Never been lost in love
Never been lost in light - seeing for the first time

The sky pours voices 
Down across the plain
11 miles left to run
And I can taste the scent of rain


11 Miles

Langhorne Slim & The Law - Strangers

Brooklyn-based artists Leslie Graves and Toby Goodshank  have joined creative forces on their album Between Worlds (BB*ISLAND),  

Toby Goodshank (The Moldy Peaches, The Pizza Underground) of the OG New York Antifolk scene, is known for his precise and acrobatic vocals over nuanced acoustic guitar in songs that have been described as “a zesty thumb of the nose at domesticated bullshit.” (Myles Manley)

Leslie Graves (GOLD, Endless Arrows) is a performing songwriter and recording artist who takes folk subgenres into evocative and intriguing directions, including “sounding like something you could hear Donna Hayward dancing to at the Bang Bang Bar.” (Ronan Conroy, “Hidden In the Days” album review)  Her voice has been described as “darkwave-meets-folk” with comparisons to Lana Del Rey, Cat Powers, Mazzy Star and Julee Cruise.

Acoustic guitar and vocal harmonies make up the core of their music. a slightly psychedelic, at times dream pop-like folkrock. It just draws from a variety of folk and rock. You might hear hints of Sybil Baer, Judee Sill, REM, Linda Perhacs, and Jessica Pratt, but the intersection of Toby and Leslie is truly a place of its own, warm and enchanting, or perhaps a glimmer from the spaces in between worlds. 

Many instrumental threads are interwoven throughout with the invaluable skills of Jake Nicoll (The Burning Hell) who lovingly engineered and embellished the recordings. Ariel Sharrat of The Burning Hell assisted him and is also featured on saxophone or bass or on some songs here.   

Speaking to their process, Leslie writes, "Toby is great at composing song structures quickly. It was fun to feel into the emotion of the chords and write from there. The process was like chiseling away at a stone to reveal the sculpture underneath. I like when songs come like that - when it feels that they are teaching us as they are revealed."
