“Stray Ashes” by JBM
I’m captivated by this album right now.
It’s as if I found a perfectly still puddle with a perfectly reflected image in it. I’m lost in the reflection, staring, as I’m drawn out of the crowded street where I stand and into this other world through a small liquid portal. The whole time that I’m caught in this spell, I’m aware that at any moment a raindrops or footfall will brewing the sneezing and peace of the image. And it’s as if a thousand hours exist right in that moment, suspended, hung in some faraway place that no one can see but me and that only exists as long as this puddle does.
Speaking of those reflections…
