Small Kindnesses

Five songs about strangers who showed up with exactly the help we needed.

Tracks

1. Night Bus Stranger, Held the DoorSomeone held the door of the last bus for me when my arms were full. I think about them more than I should.lo-fi, bedroom pop3:42
2. Stranger Pushed My Car, Rain Pouring DownThis one went a bit psychedelic, which surprised us. It's a big warm swirl, like getting pushed out of a puddle by a friendly ghost.psychedelic pop, shoegaze4:18
3. Farmers' Market, Saturday LightA Saturday morning song with baskets swinging and sunlight on canvas. Quite possibly our brightest, silliest moment.lo-fi, bedroom pop2:53
4. Stalls at Sunrise, Everyone SingsVans arriving before sunrise, lanterns glowing and everyone singing. We recorded the chorus with six people in a very small hallway.dream pop, indie pop3:16
5. Shovelled Steps, Somebody's KindnessSomebody shovelled my steps while I slept. That's the whole song, and it's still the nicest thing I've ever woken up to.lo-fi, dream pop4:23

Liner notes

We wrote these during a long, strange winter when everybody was stuck indoors and I kept thinking about small acts of kindness. A door held open, a shovelled step, a car pushed out of the rain. We recorded the whole thing in the flat without ever being in the same room, passing files back and forth like notes under a door. It's our warmest, most grateful little record.
