lyrics

there's cranes in the field
and it is happening
they finally found me
carrying water

sorrow can only get you so far
this is a message
for someone at the back of the bar

everything is slowly shattering
a rope is always
tied around my left foot

we're leveling down
what are you waiting for
a layer of sound
the ground outside your door

so take off your shoes
and feel the flattening
the earth rises up
this is our last night

literal saint
a little restraint
couldn't send me
come on and send me
a little refrain
a literal faint
couldn't tell me
tell me nothing

the strings will slack
and we don't even notice
we slowly draw in
there is nothing to be done

there's cranes in the field
and it is happening
they finally found us
walking with our daughters

Immersive & expansive musics from my best friend/life partner. Emotional alchemy. Sound worlds that help make sense of this existence. Put on some headphones and dive in. <333 joshua wayne hensley

Visiting Hours

Coed Pageant's music aims straight for the heart. They don't miss. RIYL: harmonies, honesty, laughing while crying, crying while laughing, life. You know, that kinda stuff. joshua wayne hensley

Side Man
by Michael Harold Doty

MHD has been quietly writing & recording melodic gems for as long as i have known him. This Side Man album was inspired by the beats from an old Wurlitzer drum machine and i love it so much. joshua wayne hensley

Got this record as a birthday gift from a bandmate and it coincided with the loss of my grandmother and a painful trip east to see to final arrangements. It provided both company and consolation during that difficult journey and thematically, is spot-on for this season of life. Can’t say enough good things about these guys. Creep Church

It's a glorious swirl of Fleet Foxes, and Smile era Beach Boys. It gently consumes you like a river's current as you float atop—getting that unexpected sunburn in September barnudiolikesyourband
