Waters Ave. S.

Tape-hiss folk sketches from 1990s Seattle. Intimate, dusty, and deeply melancholic songs that feel like overhearing a private conversation through a thin wall.

Find on Amazon

It sounds like a collection of sad letters you weren't supposed to find, recorded on a cassette player in a rainy bedroom.

A quiet, persistent ache that feels like watching the rain through a window in an empty apartment.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The brittle, heartbreaking clarity of the acoustic strumming on Wedding Cake as the lyrics describe a ghost in the bed.
The shift into a surreal, almost childlike melody during Circus, Circus, Circus that masks a deeper sense of unease.
The title track's closing refrain about kissing on the bus, where the tape hiss feels like it's slowly swallowing the memory.
