Album Notes & Community Reviews

Comprised of material recorded during the same sessions as 'Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill', 'The Man Who Died in His Boat' is a hauntingly beautiful collection of lo-fi folk and ambient textures. Liz Harris's ethereal vocals are submerged in reverb and gentle acoustic guitar, creating a sound that is both intimate and distant. It is a quiet, melancholic record that evokes a sense of deep solitude and natural mystery.
