The
long-awaited feature length album from the critically acclaimed
singer/songwriter team of Karin Bergquist and Linford Detweiler.
Often likened to the Cowboy Junkies, Tori Amos, and Sarah McLachlan, Over the Rhine's intensely lyrical music has made them one of the most popular bands in the country. "When I was very young, my father would go out alone at dusk into the marshes of Pennsylvania with his reel-to-reel tape recorder to gather and preserve the sounds he loved so well: the wild melancholy cries of water fowl, the joyful vast praise choruses of insects, the amorous belching of frogs. He would play his miracles at breakfast for a captive audience of six children. I've been pointing microphones toward music for most of my life, hoping for a miracle of my own. Since Karin and I began writing songs and playing in a band, we've made records in garages, basements, basement garages, barns with blinking horses, mansions in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Sunday School rooms, my third-story bedroom, the kitchen, the attic." "I think maybe this recording, this collection of songs is about internal worlds, about the dialogue that runs inside all of us, conversations we have with ourselves. We hope anyone who hears these songs will find some fresh language and maybe a soundtrack of sorts for the stories we're all writing everyday with our lives, whether or not we ever pick up a pen." "So fade to black and white now, roll the movie of my life inside of my head. Yeah, I guess I want my life to be a work of art. And if that is too much to ask, let me just be a tall awkward song of a human being that a few people hum to themselves with a smile. I'll settle for that." - Linford Detweiler
