Perfect Halves

An honest, warm and very mature collection of alt-country pop gems. You can hear the natural acoustics of the cathedral studio in all these tracks, which adds weight to the tales told.
Favorite track: Valentine.

you're months away
you've had your time to make the crowds
it's an argument to leave
you've lost your way
with your hands on the wires
this is certain to come down
so leave your ticket on the ground
because it's too late
you buried this town
and now someone should drive you home
you're tired of the distance
and you're tired of this defeat
with your hands on the wires
this is certain to come down
so leave your ticket on the ground
because it's too late

about
Perfect Halves is the second long-player from the Ashtray Hearts. The album was recorded at Sacred Heart Studios, a landmark nineteenth century cathedral overlooking Lake Superior in Duluth, Minnesota. Recording at the old church during a typical cold and snowy Duluth winter proved to be ideal for the creation of this subtle assembly of wounded songs. On Perfect Halves, the band continues to refine the lush textures first explored on their debut. Recorded on vintage analog equipment, these recordings capture the Ashtray Hearts as they were meant to sound, with the added warmth and natural reverb offered by the high ceilings of Sacred Heart. The songs, written and refined over three years, explore the timeless themes of love and loss.
