ALBUMS // Esther Rose – You Made It This Far

Post by Misha

There’s something rocking-chair-like about this music. Pitching back and forth with just the hint of a creak at the joints. It is simple, hand carved. Rough hewn, but intricate. Alternatingly jaunty and wistfully calm. A place for being surrounded or alone. To watch the world without it watching you back.

It’s timeless, too, and not just in the sense that we often say that country and folk music is timeless. It’s timeless in the way it moves effortlessly between hours and days and seasons to create something that is purple dusk and yellow dawn and inky night all at once. Every season living in the guitar under frostbitten and sunkissed fingers.

Esther’s voice comes through the wires a little faraway, as if from another life – one with more calm, more sunsets, more black coffees steaming in the muted winter light, more soft faded denim, more boots slow dancing on old pine floorboards, more quiet magic.
