Ben Trickey - We Are Not Lucky We Are Blessed cassette

"Beginning with a delicate chord progression, the narrative references the Cliffs of Moher, New Mexico’s Bottomless Lakes State Park, New York City, and Folly Beach Pier. Amidst those sprawling landmarks, Trickey sings about last songs, final chapters, and phases of transition behind the lulling strum of a mournful walking blues. Whatever name you give it, there’s a profound sense of emptiness and buried hope throughout the song, somewhere between a deathbed confessional and a funeral remembrance. Indeed, it’s a celebration of all endings. Perhaps Trickey sums it up the best here, singing, “I don’t want to dance / if I can’t dance slow.”" - Ethan Fogus / Immersive Atlanta
