Four incredible songs that bridged the gap between the folky For Emma, Forever Ago and the self-titled follow up that incorporated more electronic elements. I remember having some deeply introspective moments to this EP when I was younger.

I Think most people know the La Blogothèque video where he sings this song accapella in an alleyway in Paris, but I also love this version he did in Montreal. These live cuts are little time capsules of that era, that exist only on this corner of the internet.
Side note: I’m having a fuckin’ ROUGH go of it right now, and this album is just one of the things I try to help get through it. As a general rec, the album ”For Emma, Forever Ago” is a 10/10

Fall-ish album, was my top play of the week. Just outstanding, stirring stuff, probably one of my top five favorite albums ever. Every year I feel like my favorite song here changes, right now it’s Simple Twist of Fate. Other years it’s been, Meet Me In Morning, You’re A Big Girl Now, next year who knows.

Very on brand for me re: dad-folk and an EP, too! "Sable," due out in October -- this track ("Speyside," a song that pivots strongly around guilt) is the first to drop from that future release

Here it is, folks! Volume I of what could very well be a continuous project. Thank you so much to everyone that submitted - I smiled the entire time I was putting this together. It's best listened to with headphones ☺️
Liner Notes:
This collection of field recordings is a collaborative effort with users of PI.FYI, each of which recorded their own pieces. It features audio from all over the world and exhibits eclectic moments from London Underground commutes to cuckoo bird calls in Dhaka to the sounds of a century-old American diner.
Online communities like PI.FYI often represent a diverse set of people, places, and experiences, but together, the submissions form a living collage that highlights the commonalities of modern life - a unifying message for such a tumultuous time. The first track features all of the sounds played at once in an attempt to create an audio snapshot of an online community but in their offline lives.
The individual recordings are unedited except for minor gain and compression adjustments for consistency across the collection.
