lyrics

In the hidden hills of Pittsburgh, way up above the streets
They were on their way to Montreal, or bound for New Orleans
We were westbound in a Saturn, west and everywhere between
Once you hear about those trains you ride forever in your dreams

Cory knew the songs, he had his own guitar
Ellie knit and sang a bit and let the strangers talk
Nick played spoons and I played fiddle, we slept under the stars
Where one Arizona sunrise stays forever in your heart

When you go out on that road
You never quite come back
There's a river runs right through you
It's never on the map

Mr. Cash what do we owe you for those tickets to the west
We sang your songs for oranges and mac and cheese and bread
Oh the dew of Colorado is still my favorite coldest bed
Yes all across this country there's a place to lay your head

Maya de Vitry: vocals, acoustic guitar, fiddle
Jen Gunderman: nord keyboard (wurlitzer, mellotron, organ)
Ethan Jodziewicz: unison vocals, bass, electric guitar
Jason Burger: drums, percussion

Jaime

These songs make me feel so free and embodied... what a voice, what an emotional range. Check out Brittany Howard's story about the writing and production of "Stay High" on the Song Exploder podcast! Maya de Vitry

Watchhouse
by Watchhouse (formerly Mandolin Orange)

I adore Andrew Marlin's songwriting and his singing. The rhythm of his language, the atmosphere and production of this nuanced world that Emily and Andrew and their bandmates create... such beauty. Maya de Vitry

Bad Blood
by Ana Egge

One of my favorite albums ever. Used to listen to it on tour with my old band The Stray Birds. These songs got under my skin, into my heart, in a deep way. The lyrics take beautiful unexpected turns. Maya de Vitry

The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums. rileyridgway
