Thomas Callahan It’s a complete record almost an internal concept album. Truly impressive ambient songs, so much nuance in the sound layers, and the vocals vault beyond the usual. A must have for your collection. Favorite track: In Ceremony.

Stepping stones Smooth stones in front of me Step into the future With each passing moment you are compelled Gentle, swept up by hope, by the light in the sky Mmm, mmm Looking around Feel the ground Mmm, mmm Looking around You feel grounded The levee caught me I'm going to take it away I want it I'm going to take it away I'm going to find it

In Ceremony 05:58
Am I in ceremony? Am I heard by the unseen? Am I heard by those who dwell in the glow of the heavens? What am I asking for while I'm here? Slumber grows within me, and I lay down Slumber grows, that feeling of not wanting to know Oh, oh Oh, wash away, Oh Oh, wash away that which prevents connection, wash away the barrier I ask for help clearing, clearing and moving, clearing and moving

Ray of sun, memory Where do I have to go? Where am I called? Ray of sun, memory Open door, anchor Paper door, heavy chain Paper door, paper door, heavy chain Expanding, slow rise Expanding, slow rise

Self Renewal 04:03
Do you have life behind your eyes? Do you have life behind your eyes? Are you a whisper? Behind your eyes Are you a whisper? Behind your eyes Do you have light behind your eyes? Are you a whisperer? Do you have light behind your eyes? Are you a whisperer? I found that I could never come back to where I was before I found that I could never come back to where I was before

Lifeform 05:31
How is your lifeform? What does it feel like to be you? What does it feel like to be you? How is your lifeform? What does it feel like to be you? If all the parts of me could sing, would they have a harmony? If all the parts of me could sing, would they have a harmony? How is your lifeform? What does it feel like to be you?

about

Pensive drones and explorative vocals in It All Belongs come from a winding path of contemplation. Questions like 'What does it feel like to be you?' and 'Where am I called?' are sung hopefully, and sometimes desperately, overtop of resonant and manipulated recordings of meadows, caves, frogs, a thunder boom. With these pieces of nature, and melodies on a spectrum from elation to tension, Rew channels the spirit of her own inquiries into self and reality. Atmospheric sound design and dense layers envelop the listener in unfurling curiosity and meandering reflections on the ups and downs of life. 'I found that I / could never come back / to where I was before' note the disorienting changes to psyche and soul that can occur in these phases. Lyrics about a paper door and heavy chain nod to paradoxical experiences of ease and heaviness. Soft vocals and swelling synths share intimacy and expansion, refusing to let go of either.
