lyrics
I was frightened for some time
Foreign kingdoms surge sublime
Out of practice
Sleeping hearth
Distant sirens of primal birth
I’ve been sleeping in winter’s breast
A bluish cloud
A restless rest
But if you read my mind
Run fingers down my spine
Limbs that turn back time
You’d beg me
To the lighthouse
The beach is closed
In the night air we lost our clothes
Hello stranger
Close your eyes
I would know you even in disguise
We’ve been driving along the coast
Now we’re arriving at the last outpost
But when you read my mind
Run a finger down my spine
Limbs that stretch out time
You’d beg me

This album, while inspired by the fictions of the 18th century Chinese novelist Cáo Xuêqín, also manages to offer a sorrowful grace for that terrifying year of 2020. Themes of fate, separation or sudden loss, death, ghosts, and the abuse of power recur. And what bitter consolation, that lovely final song and its refrain: "Those that see through the world/escape from the world."
Another brilliant record. Philip Graham

The world is mean, that I somehow hadn't discovered the music of Elysian Fields until 2023.
The world is sweet, that I’ve finally discovered the music of Elysian Fields in 2023.

The magnificent Elysian Fields roughs up its sound in response to the horrific Trump years. And yet there's no lack of dreamy beauty, either, in yet another first-rate album.
Plus, I love it when Oren breaks out the electric 12-string guitar. Philip Graham
