Kissing Songs (Mistletoe)

Craig Cardiff

A remarkably fragile, close-mic folk album recorded on an iPod Touch. Hushed, unvarnished acoustic songs that feel like secrets shared in the dark.

An incredibly quiet, comforting intimacy that feels like a secret shared between friends.

Moments Worth Listening For
The fragile, near-silent space between the acoustic strums on the opening track, where you can hear the ambient room tone of the mobile recording setup.
The sprawling, nine-minute narrative arc of Barney and Miriam, which relies entirely on a hypnotic fingerpicking pattern and a conversational vocal delivery.
The warm, seasonal nostalgia of Country Road Christmas Time, where the sparse arrangement feels like a private living room performance.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
