And the Palmyra Palm

Elephant Micah

Twelve tracks of fragile, tape-hiss folk recorded in deep isolation. Sparse acoustic arrangements that feel like a shared secret whispered in a quiet room.

Find on Amazon

It's like listening to a ghost play guitar in the next room over.

A fragile, tape-hissed meditation on isolation that feels like a shared secret.

Moments Worth Waiting For
the audible click of the tape recorder starting before the first guitar strum of track one
a sudden, shaky vocal crack during the bridge of 'The Greatest Claim' that feels entirely unedited
the way the background room noise almost swallows the melody during the bridge of 'Girls Are Lonely'
