pretty folk voice over psychedelic guitar freakout seems predictable at this point in time, but they do it well

live set is fire, really makes up for the slight daintiness i sometimes rue on the album

I picked up a second hand CD of Don't Weigh Down the Light. (I was already turned on to Heron Oblivion.) I'm really enjoying this. I suppose all of Baird's stuff is basically worth tracking down, right? I suspect it will be an availability thing here in Germany. Will check Discogs.
BTW, the CD is signed, which is nice.

It's all great — worth tracking own the Baird Sisters LP as well.

Weed Tree is my fave Espers but it's all good

Thanks. I've got two albums on the way - Dear Companion and the Lattimore collaboration. That may be enough for now. But I can keep an eye out..

A Meg Baird/Mega Bog collab could totally work and the names should render it inevitable. Hop on it Paradise of Bachelors.

think there is supposed to be a new Heron Oblivion record next year ...

Great show tonight with her and Chris Forsyth on their short tour out here -- both good sets with Forsyth joining her at the end of hers for a couple of songs.

It's taken me a while to get around to it, but the new album is, unsurprisingly, gorgeous.

it really is, feels like a classic to me.

She's always had that timeless quality but this absolutely could have been released any time in the last 50 years.
― Stars of the Lidl (Chinaski), Friday, 19 May 2023 15:15 (one year ago) link
Yeah, the new one is absolutely fantastic.

Quite right

Just popping in to remind myself and others how great the new record is. 'Ashes, Ashes' is reminding me of *The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys* this evening. Damn.
