missives from the patron saint of lost causes

music: caroline polachek "desire i want to to turn into you"

i just rediscovered this excellent album over the weekend.

it's one of those works where i have to ask myself... why have i not been listening to this more often?

it's genuinely great. it goes everywhere. it is unexpected. and polachek's vocal range is just truly impressive.

"bunny is a rider" is the standout track here but far far far from the only thing worth listening to on the album (an experience more rare by the day: if artists put out albums at all they seem to mostly be filler around the one good song).

addendum: "sunset" is easily my fave song to sing along with. harmonies are amazing and that stop/start beat just makes me want to groove and reminds me vaguely and complimentary of something the books might have put together.
