Long-time Ball of Wax friend Robert Deeble (heard on volumes 3, 4, 10, 15, and 24) has a new album, called Heart Like Feathers, coming out early next year. (See previous coverage here.) Because I’m super-awesome and donated to his Kickstarter campaign, I already have it and I can report to you that it is excellent. Because I am very generous (or, more properly, because Robert is) I will share one song with you now that The Deeble has seen fit to leak to the masses in advance of the album’s release.
Unlike many of the songs on Heart Like Feathers, which I’ve heard Robert play in various settings (and released previous versions of via Ball of Wax) over the years since his last release, this one is relatively new to me. It is, of course, beautiful, and would be even without the stirring backing vocals of local treasure Anna-Lynne Williams, but they certainly don’t hurt. Enjoy “Undertow,” a perfect song for a dark, rainy Friday such as today.
