12/24 - Perfect Timing As New Petals In November

My november songs, slightly too late. Skewing towards safe cards:

 

 

Tindersticks - New World        

More than three decades into a faultless career and they're still putting out excellent tracks like this. Tindersticks - my eternal autumn companions.

Caroline Polachek ft. Weyes Blood - Butterfly Net

Dreamy blend of voices, and an amazing outro, just what you'd like on your first frost morning of the winter.

Oh, if only
The umbrella of the sky
Could wrap us up and up
That's where I'd zoom in close
Dilated as your eyes
Until then, I'll keep it brief

 

 

Sharon van Etten - Anything   

Love how Sharon van Etten is just getting more and more epic with every album. For every new listen, this song seems to grow even bigger.

 

 

Angel Olsen - Go Home   

Speaking of epic. As the gale winds force the boat masts to bow down and the sea leaves its foamy residues high up on the cliffs, so Angel Olsen's voice rips through my internal landscape and brings up old emotional flotsam.

Sigur Rós - Gold

Wrap me in blankets and leave me staring at the horizon while Jónsi tells me about the ephemerality of this season as well as our lives.
