Five songs about coming home, closing up, and the people who keep a light on.

Liner notes

I went back to my old house after ten years and sat at the same kitchen table. These five came out of that trip, written in the car and in the hallway and on the back of a gas receipt. We recorded them in a weekend, mostly one take each, because I didn't trust myself to feel it twice. The loud songs are gentler and the quiet ones are heavier.
