#NowSpinning This is a hauntingly beautiful album. I've been captivated by the songs that have been released over the past few weeks and to hear the album in its entirety pulls me right into her world.

Waited til I had a good uninterrupted block of time to check out The Resurrection Game by @emmaswiftsings.bsky.social & I'm glad I did. Really casts a spell. Sad & hopeful, beautifully sung, brilliantly produced & played. Echoes of "Weeping Cherry" by Ambrosia Parsley, & some Leonard Cohen. Brava.

New vinyl arrived in the mail today. Such a great album by @emmaswiftsings.bsky.social (already got the CD in so I’ve been able to listen already).

Check out her music on Bandcamp (Emma Swift or Tiny Ghost Records).
