You are why I have regrets
And you are why I killed again
It is time I got on top of you
But you don't buy that, do you?
And you are why I was in so many pieces
And what is shame if not segmenting the whole?
At arm's length is sometimes still too close to you
And back to back, language lacks but I am watching you
In this sodden space give me more memories
My disgrace forged no connections
I will stay awake forever
Don't miss this, will you?
Give me hell, you might as well. It's not about you
I have to break the mess we make or I won't come true

This is the last Nat Johnson release I'm purchasing... well, today, that is. There are still several on my wishlist. This musical triptych is another gem in my collection. It appears to me that each of the sisters is represented by an individual instrument: Anne by the violin, Emily by the piano, and Charlotte by the accordion. I have no idea where Nat Johnson picks up all those incredible melodies and chord progressions. It seems she's living in a parallel universe where music is the ubiquitous ether, and she just breathes it in. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)

Yes, obviously I'm buying various items from Nat Johnson's back catalog right now. This comprises "Monkey Swallows the Universe", "Nat Johnson & the Figureheads", and, of course, her solo works. The triplet of songs on this EP also appears on the live album "Roving Women: Nat Johnson plays Connie Converse (live at the Lexington with Cornerstone Brass)", besides lots of great Connie Converse covers in addition to "Talkin' Like You". The brass arrangement on "Condor" simply sweeps me away, and I can tell you that the live version of this song is just as amazing. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
