about

"Crossing the Ocean" is the first single from our the album.** It is a long-distance love song so old that it references Skype! The studio version of "Crossing the Ocean" is quite different from how audiences have experienced the song live over the past several years. (This is true of much of the album). Using the recording studio as a compositional tool allowed for a lighter delicate approach and more nuanced textures throughout. Our friend, Jacquelyn Beaupre (Voulouse & former Blessed Feathers) lent her immense talents to the track singing backing vocals and playing lilting banjo.

**Dia Luein is set for release on April 2nd, 2021

lyrics

Crossing the ocean shouldn't take too long
now that we understand how the west wind blows.
Take all the moments stick ‘em in your hand.
They are the only thing that can save us.

Come back to my town we can start a home.
I am an honest man—you'll understand in time.
Maybe the winter will not last so long.
Consider the atmosphere in the morning.

Didn't want two sets of eyes
or an escape from my old life.
But now I want you . . .
and I want it too

Don't want to Skype all the time
or want to want to be online
But now I want you . . .
and I want it too.
And I want it too.
And I want it toooooo.

Probably one of the best bands we ever played with. Top ten for sure. The music is surprising and smart and familiar. The general aesthetic is near-perfect—hand- and heart- made. I love it!! Cedarwell

9 Songs About Love
by J.E. Sunde

These songs are about love for sure, but love in a much broader sense than we are used to hearing songs about. This is a philosophical treatise sung in lullaby and celebration—we are not alone! Cedarwell
