Album Notes & Community Reviews
'Songs About Leaving' is a devastatingly intimate exploration of slowcore and fragile chamber pop. Carissa's Wierd utilizes hushed dual vocals, weeping string arrangements, and incredibly sparse percussion to convey overwhelming melancholy. The album stands as a profoundly sad and deeply influential artifact of the Pacific Northwest indie scene.
