Recorded in three different Canadian provinces — Yukon, Ontario, and Nova Scotia — the short, lush LP features backing from Toronto dream-poppers Bernice. The deep, sparse “Drawing Circles” is a song by Sproule’s Tin Angel labelmate Ed Askew. Two songs are co-written with Mike O’Neill (Inbreds) and mixed by Sandro Perri. Sproule’s husband Paul Curreri sings, plays, mixes, and produces. “I was staying in a tiny house all by myself, on a windy island out in the North sea. My daily human contact was waving to a farmer while he trained his 9-month-old sheepdog, Jan, for a herding competition. I had a little map of the ruins in the area, but I never really felt like it. I was gravitating toward the more modest plants and birds, considering all the people in my life. Everything seemed hyper-connected. So I postponed dinner — which is always easy because I can’t cook — & begin to write these long, long lines of lyrics. They were way less labored than usual, less chiseled into a meter. But I found that if I narrowed the melody to a few notes — almost like a chant — the ideas began to string themselves together. That song became ‘The Gold String.’ ‘More Together’ is half-about reconciliation — no doubt about it. But it’s also about the relief you feel when you stop needing to set yourself apart in the world. When we lived in Austin, we got this crazy cheap gym membership thanks to a friend’s Costco card. Sometimes on the elliptical, I’d peek at the other folks around me. We were all so sweaty, leaning forward, our music in our headphones, just working. I was surprised how happy I was to be a part of the tribe. So I wrote that into the second verse, along with an image of the sweat lodge we had at Twin Oaks when I was growing up.” Devon Sproule is a Canadian/American musician living in rural Virginia, raised on eco-villages near Kingston, Ontario and Louisa, Virginia. The 34-year-old, in addition to being a musician, is a high school drop-out, a birder, doula, and a student of Deaf Culture and sign language. She has been married to producer Paul Curreri for 11 years. “Sproule’s lyrics glance off each other arrestingly, juxtaposing images.” – Financial Times “Her quirky affectations bring to mind Bjork, and forays into the dark, Michelle Shocked.” – Village Voice Artist Devon Sproule Genre Folk Label Tin Angel Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings Listen To This Make It Safe Trees At Your Mom's The Gold String Drawing Circles Jana More Together Tree Detail Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Folk View Product Quick View Dando Shaft Lantaloon Folk | Sommor | 180g, 1LP Released 21st July 2011 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dando Shaft Lantaloon £22.00 Genre: Folk Label: Sommor SKU: SOMM004 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 21st July 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bhi Bhiman Rhythm & Reason Folk | BooCoo | 1LP Released 18th May 2015 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bhi Bhiman Rhythm & Reason £17.00 Genre: Folk Label: BooCoo SKU: BCM0011 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 18th May 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Gob Iron Death Songs for the Living Americana / Country | Transmit Sound | 1LP Released 21st June 2019 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Gob Iron Death Songs for the Living £16.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Transmit Sound SKU: TS2021LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 21st June 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Michael Hurley Have Moicy Folk | Light In The Attic | 180g, 1LP Released 2nd May 2011 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Michael Hurley Have Moicy £16.00 Genre: Folk Label: Light In The Attic SKU: LITA061LP Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 2nd May 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Eliza Carthy & The Wayward Band Big Machine Folk | Vinyl 180 | 180g, 2LP Released 3rd February 2017 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Eliza Carthy & The Wayward Band Big Machine £25.00 Genre: Folk Label: Vinyl 180 SKU: VIN180LP119 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 3rd February 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Milk Carton Kids, The The Only Ones Folk | Milk Carton Kids Records | 10", 1LP, EP/Mini Album Released 6th December 2019 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Milk Carton Kids, The The Only Ones £13.00 Genre: Folk Label: Milk Carton Kids Records SKU: MCR00003LP Formats: 10", 1LP, EP/Mini Album Released Date: 6th December 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dave Swarbrick & Simon Nicol In The Club Folk | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 2LP Released 11th October 2010 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dave Swarbrick & Simon Nicol In The Club £21.00 Genre: Folk Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP161 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 11th October 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View First Aid Kit Stay Gold Folk | Columbia | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes CD Released 5th June 2014 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders First Aid Kit Stay Gold £22.00 Genre: Folk Label: Columbia SKU: 88843066611 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes CD Released Date: 5th June 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Fuzzy Lights Twin Feathers Folk | Little Red Rabbit | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 27th August 2010 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Fuzzy Lights Twin Feathers £17.00 Genre: Folk Label: Little Red Rabbit SKU: LRR020 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 27th August 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Fernweh, The The Fernweh Folk | Skeleton Key | 1LP Released 30th November 2018 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Fernweh, The The Fernweh £15.00 Genre: Folk Label: Skeleton Key SKU: 0190295528065 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 30th November 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Folk Start again
