a man walks into a bar and he never came out tore the whole building down immortalized, never found all along I might complain when I speak but I won’t raise my voice always half of a thing my best friend’s second choice all along you could call it quits or you could hang around someone said that to me one bad night, he was right all along I used to wait for your bat signals cut through the fog feel your breath in the wind it was mine all along all along I’m taking a break from falling down I’m gonna learn how to follow myself around

about

The debut full length from Massachusetts based Sailor Down opens by asking, "What's that word for letting go? Two magnets getting close..." as if needing help completing the Sunday crossword puzzle. And though lead songwriter Chloe Deeley weaves intricate alternative tunings between many questions like these - it’s like the answers are already filled in. Both letting go and getting close are repeated themes throughout the record. Having recently relocated from Northampton back to her hometown on the Massachusetts North Shore for a middle school teaching position, Deeley is able to look back and ahead at the horizon with varying levels of optimism.

Sailor Down leaves behind lo-fi bedroom recordings on Lookout Park and expands into full band studio versions featuring everything from early Saddle Creek pedal steel to electronic programming by way of an op1 synthesizer. The latter being showcased on the impossibly catchy lead single “Bat Signal” accompanied by poignant affirmations like “I’m taking a break from falling down. I’m gonna learn how to follow myself around”. Whether getting close or letting go, Deeley finds new ways to use introspective hooks to help appreciate both.

“…spare but lovely with gently-strummed guitar and double-tracked vocals, that should appeal to fans of Phoebe Bridgers and confessional, lo-fi singer-songwriters.” - BrooklynVegan

"a sonic pallet of processed beats and languid acoustic guitars like the middle ground of Frankie Cosmos and Digital Ash-era Bright Eyes." -ForTheRabbits

FFO: Rilo Kiley, The Softies, Soccer Mommy
