Song Spells, No. 1: Cedarsmoke

A hushed, minimalist collection of acoustic guitar and cello. Recorded in isolation, it feels like a private conversation held in a snowbound mountain cabin.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the cello moans beneath the delicate fingerpicking on the title track, mimicking the slow rise of smoke.
The nine-minute closing sprawl of Visions where the song dissolves into a hypnotic, repetitive instrumental meditation.
The sudden, startling intimacy of the vocal entry on Bergamot Morning, sounding as if Alex Church is leaning over your shoulder.
