“To celebrate the official release of The Life You Save, I'm so happy to share what is perhaps my favorite song I've ever written. ‘Keep Me in the Dark’ is a love song–the type of love rooted not in control or selfishness, but grace and acceptance of each other’s mutual imperfections…” Jenn Wasner

Human fragility delivered in dulcet tones while electronic processors mate modern rock and folk guitar, “Save,” nurtures spiritual whirlwinds forming lavish emotional cascades into grand expanses stitching Jungian hungers with pedal steel and digital synths.

The singer-songwriter’s poetic empathy and shaded playing summarize disconnected guesses into unintended evidence. Solitary guitar accompaniment suits each song’s sweet, unrequited mindfulness; awareness squared through surrendered confessions made open, intelligent and wonderfully accessible.

MADI DIAZ
“Fatal Optimist”

Vulnerable understandings, standish-offish consequence, tender rejection and subjective revelations, Diaz self-identifies not only as the album’s Fatal Optimist, but its Good Liar and Queen of Silver Linings.
