dark folk / lo-fi / gauzy 
James Bracken cut his teeth as a sideman lending his soulful vibrato and rhythm playing to Ian Hilmer’s Stagefright, an alternative string band from southern MN. The band performed extensively regionally, steadily gaining grassroots momentum circulating live bootlegs but never releasing an album, which ultimately ended the band and each of the members went on to front their own project.  

Several hundred bar gigs later a fortuitous connection with Rochester producer Fires of Denmark led to a productive series of recording sessions documenting Bracken’s expansive catalog and tracking a brand new batch of songs set to be released as Echo Messenger.

Dragonflies

When your feet are off the ground
You feel the weightlessness of sound
And soon you will be homeward bound


Dragonflies by day. Fireflies at night
And soon you will be homeward bound


Vivid dreams of us. 
I don't know what to so with this energy.


When your feet are off the ground
You feel the weightlessness of sound
And soon you will be homeward bound
And soon you will be homeward bound

'I know,because I feel It '

I know, because I feel it
I know how it tastes
It's so funny
Oh! But it smells so good!

And it's just us after all,
Just me and just you.
Don't say anything, look at me
The heart never lies.

I know, because I feel it
I know how it tastes

It's so funny!
The whole world smells like you!
It's so wonderful!
Because you're right next to me.

I listened for your keys at the door
And I waited for your steps upon the floor
I picked up my drawing of cows and barns
And I ran into your coat and your scarf and your arms

You showed me that fear is forbidden
You told me that pain should be hidden
You smacked me, you struck me when I opened my eyes
You taught me that truth hurts more than lies

Oh I, yes I, I’m not sad and lonely
You won’t see, no you won’t see the tears that I cry
Oh I, no I’m not sad and lonely
It’s just the way the rain falls every time that we say goodbye

I hope for a day
A day of diamonds and dreams
I hope you will say
That things are not what they seem
I pray you will take me
Your hand upon my cheek
And tell me you love me
And that you’re sorry for being so weak
Oh daddy…

I can still smell the green grass you mowed
Every Sunday, cut blades blew across the road
So little was there on show
But the roots are still deep and still guide how they grow

Oh I, yes I, I’m not sad and lonely
You won’t see, no you won’t see the tears that I cry
Oh I, no I’m not sad and lonely
It’s just the way the rain falls every time that we say goodbye

One gentle breeze, a breeze that whispers
Sweetly past your cheek
One gentle wave, a wave that walks you back through yesterday

Quiet as the years
Timid as the tears
Falling as they're calling out for you to hear

Silence crashing in 
In a quiet whisper 
It's calling out to you

Calling out to you
Calling out to you

One thoughtful stream, a stream that strings your every memory
One burning dream that turns against the stream
Of reverie

Quiet as the years
Timid as the tears
Falling as they're calling out for you to hear

Silence crashing in 
In a quiet whisper 
It's calling out to you

Calling out to you
Calling out to you
Calling out to you
To you
To you

Give time a moment a moment of reflection calling you to hear
The melody of introspection is clear

Silence crashing in 
Through the quiet whisper 
It's calling out to you

Calling out to you
Calling out to you
Calling out to you
To you
To you
Allt svo hljótt (All is quiet)
Allt svo hljótt (All is quiet

All Is Quiet- feat Josh Claunch

One Day Soon

'perhaps, the best...'

Baby, unfortunately you have gave me
no choice but to leave you,
'cause you're crazy.
Indeed, at once it was 'maybe.'
But, now it is definitely 'no.'
Although I am sad to see you go.
And wish you all the best.
I still love you.
And always will for what you've been to me.
Eternally. 

I pushed you through your spare room window
and never left.
You made me poutine, burned your arm and had sex. Perhaps the best...

perhaps, the best

'Love me'

So quietly, without a fuss, you sneak into my life.
And no one knows how much you love me.

You love me.
Uncontrollably.
I don't know what...
...leads you to this.

I'm scared.
Even to think about it.
I feel how...
You paint our future.

Love me. Because I want it.
I feel how it pulls me in.

Love me.
Oh! I want it so much.
Forget that there's anything else!

Love me.
Oh! I want it so much.
Forget that there's anything else!

So quietly, without a fuss, you sneaked into my life.
And no one knows how much you love me.

You love me.
Uncontrollably.
I don't know what...
...leads you to this.

I'm scared.
Even to think about it.
I feel how...
You paint our future.

Love me. Because I want it so much.
I feel how it pulls, pulls me in.

Love me. Because I want it so much.
I feel how it pulls, pulls me in.

And screw the world! It won't understand.
I don't care! I forget about reason!

Screw the world! It won't understand.
I don't care! I forget about reason!

Love me...

Smoky Faces of Love.

"LoVe SMS"


You say you love me. You say it every day.
You keep sending me beautiful texts.
I read every letter and word by word.
I don't understand the meaning. It doesn't fit in my head.

When I open my eyes and
look at my phone,
the only thing I find there
is just the echo of dreams.

You say you love me. You keep writing to me.
I don't believe it because it must be a dream.
You say you love me. Why do you write like this to me?
After all, I know you're a dream...
A dream like no other.

You say you love me. You write it consistently.
These constant texts, so hot and fiery.
I absorb every letter and word by word.
And even though I don't know the meaning, they bubble in my head.

You say you love me. You repeat it every day.
Thousands of texts, twisted so beautifully.
I see every word, I feel the letters too.
I marvel at the colors and their great warmth.

When I open my eyes and
look at my phone,
the only thing I find there
is just the echo of dreams.

You say you love me. You keep writing to me.
I don't believe it because it must be a dream.
You say you love me. Why do you write like this to me?
After all, I know you're a dream...
A dream like no other.

I'm opening my eyes now
And I know full well,
that it was that dream.
That one... only dream.

You say you love me. You keep writing to me.
I don't believe it because it must be a dream.
You say you love me. Why do you write like this to me?
After all, I know you're a dream...
A dream like no other.

Wherever you Go

[Solo]
[Beautiful introduction]

[Verse]
You walk in the room
The sun feels small
Every shadow runs
Every wall might fall
Your laugh's a melody
It skips like stones
How do you do it
Lighting hearts like homes

[Prechorus]
You’re a spark
You’re a flame
Every day
Never the same

[Chorus]
You spread joy wherever you go
Like confetti in the breeze
Let it show
You light up the dark
You let it glow
You spread joy wherever you go

[Verse 2]
Your smile’s a river
It sweeps the ground
Even the rain tries to dance around
Clouds don’t linger
They just pass through
Every corner shines when it meets you

[Chorus]
You spread joy wherever you go
Like confetti in the breeze
Let it show
You light up the dark
You let it glow
You spread joy wherever you go

[Bridge]
What’s your secret
How’s it done
You carry the moon
You carry the sun
Every moment’s better
Brighter
New
The world’s a canvas
Painted by you

[Verse 3]
You walk in the room
The sun feels small
Every shadow runs
Every wall might fall
Your laugh's a melody
It skips like stones
How do you do it
Lighting hearts like homes

Wherever you Go
