Westering

A vintage-warm acoustic album for baking cinnamon rolls by the window at sunset - mellow fingerpicked guitar, soft piano, tender young vocals in a clean warm recording, with light sunny-pop tunes and two little waltzes woven in, following one golden evening from the sun leaning west to the lamps coming on at home in seventeen songs.

The story begins as the westering light draws her to the window seat in "Westering." The avenue turns gold through the glass in "Glass," cinnamon roll dough gets rolled soft and round in "Dough," melted butter and cinnamon sugar spread sticky-sweet in "Sticky," and Earl Grey steeps slow in the golden light in "Earlgrey." Fresh rolls come warm out of the oven in "Buns," and white icing drizzles slowly over them in "Icing." A bright waltz spins as the avenue blazes in the setting sun in "Blaze," then comes the first bite and a window-side cup in "Ledge," and a crimson maple glowing outside the glass in "Crimson." The heart of the hour arrives with "Longshadow" - long shadows crossing the lane, and shelter found in a gentler wing. Then a second roll and a refill of tea in "Syrupy," rooftops and chimneys turning to silhouettes in "Silhouette," the sky going vermilion in "Vermilion," a slow waltz for the dimming light in "Dimming," powdered sugar on the last roll and one last cup in "Sugared," and the lamps coming on across the lane as home wraps around her in "Homebound."

Each track carries just a drop of quiet grace, making this the perfect soundtrack for autumn tea time, golden-hour afternoons, and slow evenings at home.
