1.	f.f.f. (buffalo vs. poughkeepsie) 03:30	lyrics	buy track
Even though I know it's wrong, at least right now, If only you could know all the things I wish you knew... I'm sick of fighting the fact that I've fallen for you. So sick of fighting the fact that I've fallen for you. I would never be so naïve to promise you the world But I've never wanted more to keep someone from the cold I'm sick of fighting the fact that I've fallen for you. So sick of fighting the fact that I've fallen for you.
2.	there are always other people in our rooms 03:41	lyrics	buy track
There are always other people in our rooms There are always other people in our rooms There are always other people in our beds There are always dirty pillows under head I feel as if my feelings are unfair but still I wish that I could feel my fingers running through your hair I know at least two reasons why my feelings are unkind but I've been trying hard to keep it all inside The grass is damp below The polluting light, ya know That your mercurial moods begin Under peculiar moons Our sins will follow There are always other people in our beds There is always someone waiting somewhere else There are always other people in our rooms There are always other people out of tune I tried so hard to be vague and indirect but all the ways I've tried, I still haven't found one yet I drove you to your boyfriend's place the night that you had your first kiss The night I think I realized I wished that I was yours And even though it's inconvenient and the timing isn't great I wouldn't say that I would wait but I would love if there's a chance You danced inside the glass When you hid under the plants, your smile The roof on nights with sparks The clouds unfurling, dark and stormy

about

The sound at the end of "F.F.F. (Buffalo vs. Poughkeepsie)," which sounds like a creaking gate, is a creaking gate. It was recorded at the entrance to the Poughkeepsie-Highland Railroad Bridge, which crosses the Hudson River.

The high, whining sound in "There are always other people in our rooms"—which you might recognize from some David Bowie songs and a bunch of sci-fi soundtracks—is from a little instrument called a Stylophone. The whistling sound is just that: whistling. All other sounds, with the exception of the cheap drumbeats, were made with an acoustic guitar, keyboards, and a mouth.

Painterly
by Nico Hedley And His Family Band

Nico's songs burrow their way into your heart & take up residence, pacing around & reciting Dickinson poems while sipping whiskey 'til your heartbeat starts swinging in 3/4. Field Guides

Don't Get Comfy / Nowhere
by Carmen Quill

These arrangements are stark and stunning. The space around Carmen's singing and playing feels somehow both intimate and infinite. Field Guides

Pink in each, bright blue, bright green
by Dave Scanlon

Dave works some kind of alchemy with these deceptively simple & spacious songs. He is one of my favorite lyricists & guitarists. I've listened to this LP more than any other these last couple years. Field Guides

Alas,
by Lily Seabird
