3 Devil Songs, by Westeryear

3 track album

Our newest release! Two covers and one traditional recorded on a hot summer night in an empty apartment! All of these share a very specific, luciferous theme. One of them features our dear friends The Vox Hunters in a rousing chorus. Please listen and download and share. Happy Halloween!

Been recording with Mike Samos. He is not only a gem of a human being, he is also helping us capture the best recordings of Westeryear yet. Also, he played dreamy steel guitar on a song.

Thanks to Peace and Carrots Farm for having us last night and to Gabe for putting it all together. (And to Martha for making us smile and chewing on our altar feather.) 

Tonight we play at the Boarding House.

Remastered version of February tapes is up.  

A lil’ more hiss, a lot more soul.

Recorded to 4-track tape in Barrington and Providence, RI.  Themes inspired by Emily Dickinson.  Best appreciated through headphones.

Lyrics: 

Close quarters. I live in the corners Of the yellow house on a half hill.

Night spinning. No room to fall down dizzy. Confined to these domestic tasks.

I do best Knees pressed into chest. Or so they said.

Far off places Framed and fractioned. Wonder lost in destination.

I'd do best to dull this restlessness. Or so they said.

They said the stars wouldn't be enough to guide me And the one that did would burn my skin. This subtle light that grows inside me Was only safe when it was dim.

But I see best When I forget what they expect.
