I’ve been falling asleep to this track for the last few nights.

Another Cathy Davey song I think is super lovely! (“In He Comes”)
Cathy Davey - Reuben
One of my favorite songs at the present moment :)
Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou - Mad Man’s Laughter
This music has been, to me, a countervailing wind for a tempestuous mind. You would be remiss to pass this post without listening.
Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou is a nun currently living in Jerusalem. She grew up as the daughter of a prominent Ethiopian intellectual, but spent much of her young life in exile, first for schooling, and then again during Mussolini’s occupation of Ethiopia’s capitol city, Addis Ababa, in 1936. Her musical career was often tragically thwarted by class and gender politics, and when the Emperor himself actually went so far as to personally veto an opportunity for Guèbrou to study abroad in England, she sank into a deep depression before fleeing to a monastery in 1948. Today, she spends up to seven hours a day playing the piano in seclusion. (Bio via BoingBoing)
