My notes for this week read 'something seasonal' ! Meaning Autumnal...

It begins with the warm harmonies of 'All The Birds' sung by Golden Oak, an indie-soul-folk band from Maine, fronted by sister-and-brother duo Lena and Zak Kendall, from their most recent album release 'All the Light in Autumn'.

Continues with 'Masquerading as a Star', 'Glass Bottles', 'I’m Not the Only Thing', 'The Flood' and 'Some say dreams / They can get you by / But all the birds are leaving / In the autumn light' - from the track 'Geese'. 

There's a clear bird theme running here [including the future environment / reoccurring dreams / paradise / greed / reflections on living]. 

Any of the above songs are Star Tracks, but 'Geese' has a nice loosely animated lyric video - as opposed to the others, that just feature the album cover: 'All the Light in Autumn' >

 

Check out Golden Oak's previous album 'Room To Grow'. 

And give this short video of '‘The Stable Song’ by Gregory Alan Isakov a listen - a wonderful vocal harmony cover by the group : Lena and Zak with Mike Knowles.

Finally that album cover featuring 9 birds - click here.
