lyrics
Words and Music by Jeremiah Lloyd Harmon
You leave in the morning for Mermentau
but you know you can't stay
'Cause you're the phantom of vodka on the kitchen floor
and you forgot how to pray
Saying
"Oh, Mama don't see the same sun as me
As me no more
I'm calling a cab for my own salvation"
I leave in the morning for Mermentau but I know I can't stay
'Cause you're love is no longer an open door
And I'm falling from grace
But maybe it's not falling if I take a leap of faith
And feel forever underneath my feet now
Singing
"Oh, Mama don't see the same sun as me
As me no more
I'm calling a cab for my own salvation"
But where do I go?
Papa can't even look at me
At me no more
Lord won't you send me a chariot
Send it down
Send me a chariot, oh!

This album beautifully describes the transformation of its hopeless protagonist into a woke mofo. These tracks confront the self-doubt and isolation of living in the 21st century while leaving listeners with the confident exuberance it will take to overcome our collective troubles.
It is difficult to pick a favorite track, but I'm a sucker for the fiddle. So I'm going to go with the slow, sad One Solution which takes me to a back porch rocking chair, eyes closed with all my woes. Adam Burns
Beautiful and mysterious folk-adjacent songs from this UK outfit that wreathe delicate acoustic guitar in mist-like synths. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 10, 2021
Thin Lear's sophisticated rock music is tempered with soaring chamber pop accents and an undeniable gift for melody. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 30, 2020
