Lowland Hum

Ned and I met this band during a July weekend visit to Laity Lodge in Texas. They were the musicians/singers providing music for the weekend (songs and worship during main speaker sessions and a concert Saturday night). Their music is quiet and poetic. They are down to earth, friendly, and funny. Lauren and Daniel are married and have a sweet 6moth old son.

They recently covered all of Peter’s Gabriel’s So album. It’s pretty brilliant.

Listen to In Your Eyes from their So recording.

Listen to this song 2017 Folded Flowers

These lyrics read like poetry:

Thin Places

Turn screws and wooden legs a million times a second
Glitter on the bay, like oil
Cattails nod like monks
Humble tonsures blur
Periphery diamonds kiss mercury

Andrew Wyeth, you always move my wife
The right number of birds, proportion of barn to sky

Every afternoon holds rubies, under rocks
In hidden caves, under rocks

Whales too, shiver and roll under a thin layer
So many thin places
