Black Pear Tree

A collaborative EP recorded in a remote cabin. Hushed acoustic guitars and intimate piano arrangements create a sanctuary of quiet, literary folk.

It's like sitting in a quiet cabin while two geniuses play folk songs just for you.

A quiet, resonant stillness that feels both lonely and deeply comforting.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The delicate piano melody on the title track that feels like a fragile branch breaking.
The surprising vocal blend between Darnielle and Kaki King during the chorus of Bring Our Curses Home.
The way the guitar work on Roger Patterson Van mimics the rhythmic rattling of an old vehicle.
