This EP was recorded Sunday, Sept. 12, 2010 at East Hall Recording in Fayetteville, AR.
All instruments and voices were recorded in the isolation booth, into one microphone, and the songs were then mixed to mono.
lyrics
Unraveling
As it turns out you’re not who I thought you were
You might be the one and now I’ll never be sure
You toyed with my heart like a kitten with string
And it’s too late to stop this unraveling
I paid my respects to for better or worse
But too much of the latter couldn’t make it work
Now I’m tryin’ to start over with a fresh clean slate
But all these broken pieces are hard to erase
God knows I’m trying to move along
Don’t know why I’m holding on
To all this hope that we’ll work it out
Because you couldn’t have been more clear
That there’s no future here
Twist the knife and let the hope bleed out
Now it’s too late for something
And I’ve only got nothing now
They say time is the healer of wounds
But I cashed in the hourglass to gamble on you
Now I’m placing my bets on a long shot race
And there’s a hell of a chance that I’ll have hell to pay
I know I’ll make it to winter,
But first I gotta get through this fall
Through the fall
God knows I’m trying to move along
Don’t know why I’m holding on
To all this hope that we’ll work it out
Because you couldn’t have been more clear
That there’s no future here
Twist the knife and let the hope bleed out
Now it’s too late for something
And I’ve only got nothing now

Nashville’s Passion Fruit Boys nail the effervescent janglepop of ’80s college radio with bright guitars and immediate hooks. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 1, 2022
Soulful guitar interplay form the heart of this lovely Americana collaboration from Dave Alvin and Jimmie Dale Gilmore. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 2, 2018
An album that gets better with every listen. It was already in my top 10 of the year, but it just keeps pushing higher. Lydia Loveless is so damn underrated. William Boyle
