Russ Isabella Wow, wonderful album. Only one full listen since I received the record earlier today, but that's more than enough to know it's a keeper, and will be a grower. Vinyl didn't come with a download, so I'm grabbing that here at bandcamp. Hard to pick a favorite, and I know there are at least a few tracks that will take turns in that spot. Favorite track: All My Thoughts.

Laura B. songs are all classics, that’s a given. what’s truly remarkable is sofia’s voice – somehow it scatters into all these particles and finds all the nooks & crannies of your brain to cling to. don’t think any other voice could do these songs justice. Favorite track: Traveling Show.

Want To Know 04:20
i’ve been out here holding on to a past life yeah i know i could let it all go but i don’t know why you’d wanna know & you could show me the tangled mess that you live in but would i change in every way i don’t know how you stay the same yeah the forest let it ring “i knew you” contorting out & in a bent mimic of a quiet corner turning off & when you come down to look at me with a clear mind don’t float back up without me i don’t know how we’re supposed to talk don’t go back when you’re still the same you’re intonation pushes me away visual contact makes me run astray & all i forget is you haven’t changed yeah the forest let it ring “i knew you” contorting out & in a bent mimic of a quiet corner turning off
2.
On Occasion 03:07
i’ve been getting lost feeling halfway to something i want but here & there there’s a light on you flicker softly, stringing along & then you’re gone backing out & it’s been coming back the weight of walking for counting my steps just give me something to run towards i’ve been holding onto nothing at all just counting the time i just wanna look up and see you there but ill never be running up again to find you asking you to stay i've been parting ways with all the feelings up staying in place but what if now i can leave here to find quiet in the back of my mind just give me some time i just wanna look up and see you there but ill never be running up again to find you asking you to stay
3.
Keep In Time 03:27
i walk on colored straight lines seeing where you go is not on my mind but i long to feel that again not pretend that i’m blending with nowhere to end copying fields to transcribe print all the things that i can’t describe dont defend what you’re trying to say through the indirect syntax formulating time just define in some coherent terms i’ll be firm when you sit up in mine i’ll be fine waving transcending for you you’ll fortify what you do & i’ll lay back with both hands intact the fact will be here so long after you leave just define in some coherent terms i’ll be firm when you sit up in mine i’ll be fine stop to think you’ll catapult in turns
4.
i’m looking out the window for a sign for something i can sort of recognize cause everything around me is gone in the end you’re holding up a light for me to find but everytime i call you there’s no reply cause maybe all we are is running out of time & i’m working through my thoughts for you now but you wouldn’t know imagine that you’re reaching out a hand you pick me off the ground & understand that i’m holding it together for as long as i can
5.
Forgotten 03:44
what have i forgotten it’s not what you wanted yet i want you to know when you stop responding can i step back honest & say how i feel for you cause if you told me “I’m saying something new” pull me out of here take me somewhere bright & blue going back i wouldve been a better me looked you in the eyes & done things differently it couldn’t change things no it’s not a place i would’ve seen what are you saying i plugged my ears when i told you i wanted out now i’m coming down forgetting your face i'm walking away before i break fold back inwards leave me falling tragically a feeling i know a pattern i’m starting to understand the way i feel things the way i know you never can could never change you you picked yourself back up with both of your hands once you’ve got it it’s not how it’s supposed to be to think you fought something conceived so naturally to think i felt something believed so beautifully
6.
i know how it feels when i can’t remember talking to you ‘bout my weekend i let you think that it was accidental when i stopped caring about being careful & i know every picture you took that summer filling up my mind with places i wandered knowing that you talked about me did you ever say you’re sorry i’ll never say it aloud i can’t get it out but i’ve been singing it for days now i can’t tell you how you feel but i feel it too i could talk to you till my face starts turning blue even when you’re out to get i didn’t think that you would come to regret me & you’ve been feeding me my lines somehow i didn’t know what i was talking about but i’m thinking i could feel it out now i’m walking ‘round outside my house i feel more awake when i can remember maybe i’m growing away for the better feeling like i wasn’t empty never thought i’d see the day where i’d forget me
7.
you’re living in a place that I’m not coming back to cause I’m floating through the space in between us in between all the thoughts that I’m scared of i’m drifting through a world without time without movement cause it’s been days since we’ve talked & i miss you would you believe me now? if i told you that I wished that everything was different in the end & all my thoughts are leaving in a sense i’m moving through a wave, & i passed you maybe you saw me i’m thinking in a different time maybe you’d tell me about how close you got to saying sorry but that’s just something i think of when im breathing i’ve wandered through a dream of my life i've imagined looking up through your eyes i recognize all the things that i’ve found while being lost & maybe you wondered if i’m ever coming back cause it’s getting kinda lonely where i’m at & i’m hoping you’ll begin to understand that i’m always surprised when i laugh
8.
Free Range 05:51
i’m thinking of a place where i could notice how i’ve disappeared i watched you build structures on the free range but it’s not real i asked if we could go up to the countryside where i could feel time cause when the function shuffles away from me i’ll start to see definitive colors flooding in in me i started to feel me leaving town i’m falling down i wanted to be with me again i'm calling out & what did i see when the landscape blurred this sound surrounds me & it took too long to realize i want you around me i’m watching all the pieces spin around & you’re just a sound that i’m taking with me it’s trailing off in every song & you’re ringing out too loud cause when the morning breaks apart the night i’ll fall asleep in a different kind of light i started to feel me leaving town i'm falling down i wanted to be with me again i’m calling out & what did i see when the landscape burned this sound surrounds me & it took too long to realize i want you around me
9.
Running Out 02:55
running into my head running out of my car don’t you wanna go in if it’s not too far i’m walking out in a daze where every color just looks the same & i’m just trying to sound out the names on my phone i’m putting everything down maybe i could just leave town marching steady, i’ll walk around there’s nothing better to do look at all that i’ve found & embrace the sound i’m thinking i was just hiding out till i found you cause i worked through it all & i can’t help but look down what did you find when you figured out yourself i look around the quiet underground cause nothing i feel can stop this place from crumbling down around me totally & you just surround me but how could you find me i’m living in the dark
10.
driving out on your own calling home from the road standing out in the freezing cold heading out to the coast moving parallel with shoreline posts trailing close behind traveling shows & you had never thought of leaving till the fourth of july when you woke up in the middle of the night with the window cracked you started to cry i’ve been changing with the seasons staring down into a hole digging up every thought i’ve known & on the day that it got better when all the colors seemed to turn it felt enough & i just came undone i never thought it would do much to try & talk through all the pain but then you called me in the middle of the day through a thunderstorm i watched it blow away as you watched the sun get lower a kind of glimmer in your eyes i think i saw something move you inside
