Swift Arrows is a record full of dark corners and dazzling shafts of light. An exploration in gamboling piano lines slowing into lingering, thrumming ballads, Earl sounds as though she's singing from the very boat she burned before- throwing breakaway melodies into a whipping wind of resonant choral singers. An album about the fraying of love, about it's anger and it's mercy, about despair and boundless hope, knotted together with lush strings and steady, distant drums, It is clear Earl knows that once one has "burned the boats" there is no going back, only going forward, headlong into one's new life. Swift Arrows is about doing just that, and doing it boldly. This album is pressed on pink vinyl and has a digital download card.
