Bodies and Minds

Great Lake Swimmers

Natural reverb from a rural church creates a ghostly, spacious folk record. Tony Dekker’s whispered vocals float over delicate banjo and somber cello.

April 2, 2005 · Misra

A quiet, reverent meditation on the intersection of the human spirit and the natural landscape.

Moments Worth Listening For

The cavernous echo of the church hall swallowing the final notes of Song for the Angels.

The way the banjo on Various Stages feels like it is being played from the back of a large, empty room.

The sudden, heavy emotional weight of the vocal delivery during the chorus of To Leave It Behind.
