Pen Pal is an
instrumental album
from 2019
I return to
often.
It reminds me
of a campfire
with loved ones.
I've never met
any of the artists
on this album
(Santpoort,
afternoon bike ride,
Oatmello, Barnes Blvd.)
but this one feels
especially familiar,
like distant friends,
or faraway family.
Spend some time
in 2019 if you like
and if you need
more from
another silent weekend,
look no further
than this 2021
collaborative EP
with Bitter Blossom.
called Sun Petal.
