专辑简介
Themed and titled after a work of William Blake's, June Madrona's second album The Winged Life explores themes of love and control. The lineup on this record is comprised of four people making use of guitar, cello, harp, glockenspiel, banjo, and of course, their voices. Group collaboration and orchestration has brought the band to a new level of maturity on this record. This album is delivered in a hand-made booklet with a silk screened cover. The booklet includes sixteen pages of lyrics, drawings, and photos.
"On my favorite June Madrona song, they sing, "Last night I dreamt that Portland filled up with gardens/and people on bicycles passing me by/and streets lined with fruit trees." June Madrona is Olympia's Ross Cowman, Onyx Dixon, and Christopher Schile turning guitar, voice, harp, and cello into careful, stately folk. It's nice. Like summer in Portland."
-Portland Mercury
"The fragile plucks that open June Madrona's "An Early Spring" could pass for a lullabye before the sadness to come begins to creep in. It's an amazingly graceful fade of emotion, taking you from unease to nostalgia, and then the cello kicks in and you realize there's more than wistfulness here. This is an elegy for the open fields and farmland of childhood, paved and peopled by inexorable suburban expansion. The folks fighting I-933 should make this their campaign song."
-The Olympian
