"Nowhere" by Charlotte Cornfield | 4-Track Cover

I love Charlotte Cornfield. I found her first through her 2019 record The Shape of Your Name after discovering that Leif Vollbekk (who you should also listen to) played on the record. She paints scenes in her songs that feel so comfortable and lived in, with arrangements that seem to make room for the listener to fill in the details, rather than forcing the listener to see things exactly the way that the producer/songwriter/artist wants them to be seen. I love that. She made this record with Josh Kaufman of Bonny Light Horseman; it’s a match made in heaven. Apparently heaven is in Canada.
Anyway, I’m hoping and wishing for her to play Columbus because she puts out songs that hit me the same way that Ezra Furman’s songs hit me in middle school. The blissful and bewildering reaction of, “Oh my gosh… you can write a song like that? That’s allowed too?” Her songs put me back in that stage of wonder and lights a fire under my bum to get back to the drafting table.
Hope you enjoy this little bit from the record recorded with Dan, our percussionist and music director at the tail end of a band meeting a little while ago.
