Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded in a deeply intimate, lo-fi setting, this collaboration remains a breathtaking pinnacle of outsider loner folk. 'Sand in My Shoe' pairs Loren Mazzacane Connors's spectral, avant-blues guitar phrasing with Kath Bloom's fragile, devastatingly emotive vocal delivery. It is an emotionally harrowing, beautiful artifact that heavily influenced the subsequent freak-folk revival of the 2000s.
