Marisa Anderson & Tara Jane O'Neil - You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To / Carlos Truly - Canal

WHAT WE SAY:

So many EPs get ignored in favour of LP reviews so I thought I'd start to shine a light on a few of my favourites as two great ones dropped yesterday. Firstly Carlos Truly's wonderful dreamy future soul shorty & a two track tandem of cosy, sensual folk from Marisa Anderson & Tara Jane O'Neil.

TJ and I recorded these songs in her backyard studio in February of 2018. We’ve been friends and occasional collaborators for years, crossing paths and sharing stages and the timing was right to capture a certain moment. I was on my way back from Mexico, not quite ready to return to the grey skies of the Pacific Northwest, and to me these songs capture a bit of lazy California winter, crossing paths with a trusted friend, playing guitars and singing old songs. – Marisa Anderson

Cole Porter and Gene Clark are among my favorite songsmiths and rendering their music during that warm midwinter of wildfires and aftermaths was perfect. Marisa and i have had an adventurous collaborative friendship, playing sonics and playing standards. The songs on this 7 inch are a cool continuation of our shared journey. – tjo.
