I was washing my hands one day, I was rinsing them of clinging earth,
In the garden under sky so grey, planting seedlings at the seasons turn,
And I looked at my hands and I thought of the legacy of human toil,
Ever working in some new plot to monopolize the air and soil,
To own it all....
In my garden I name the weeds, and I pull them and I dig the roots,
If a plant cannot meet my needs I won’t offer it an inch of room,
And I nurture my chosen seeds and I emphasize my role,
On the fruit of my labor feed, on illusion of my own control...
To own it all, consume it all,
Contain it all, create it all...
To own it all, to own it all, own it all, own…
To own it all, own it all
To own it all
To own it all
To own it all, consume it all
Contain it all, create it all

When singers harmonize—when their voices consume them and fuse into a new whole—something blooms in them: a kind of bliss, a kind of madness. Bradford King and Meghan Sinoff follow this sensation into territory both eccentric and melodic.
If you have a fondness for expertly wrought roots-rock with sharp lyrics and aching vocals, look no further—“Strangers” is for you. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 8, 2022
