Andy Shauf - "I'm Not Falling Asleep"
From the album ‘The Bearer Of Bad News’ (2015) • Pay what you want http://tndr.lv/andyshauf
When will I ever be safe from myself if the danger all lies between Heaven and Hell? When I close my eyes I’m not falling asleep, I am opening drawers, I am sifting through papers. Please stay a while, I’m not falling asleep.
Meticulously written over four years and recorded over one in a makeshift studio set up in his parent’s basement, Shauf, whose delivery at times reminds of Elliott Smith or Paul Simon, plays nearly every instrument on The Bearer of Bad News. The album was crafted on his grandfather’s timeworn guitar and heavily influenced by the aforementioned—and newly learned—clarinet, which was a Christmas gift from family. In spite of his modest recording set-up, Shauf imbued The Bearer of Bad News with an enduring warmth and redolence that lingers long after the album ends.
