Christine by Canary Room

Canary Room is the project of Portland based songwriter Maddy Heide. Over the last few years she has uploaded a massive selection of songs on her bandcamp. There you will find a magnificent display of songs in their rawest form; each collection feels like a peak into the brain and surrounding world of someone who has to keep writing songs in order to survive. Pulling from a long tradition of folk music thru many generations (Vashti Bunyan, Joni Mitchell, Bruce Cockburn, Gillian Welch, the Weather Station, etc.), Maddy pens pockets of beautiful, heart-wrenching and yet comforting song with little more than her guitar and voice. With this collection of all new songs, I (emmet) helped record on 4-track cassette and in doing so tried to amplify Maddy's performance along with our unique setting: positioned among trees, an overgrown garden, and a plethora of birds. I hope you dig it as much as I do. much love :^)
