lyrics
When drawing a coat of arms
What do you include
The face of a nation
The nation is you
There’s beauty in the grey
There’s beauty in questions
We don't have to give it all away
There’s beauty in the tension
We’ll never own love
We can only borrow
When drawing a coat of arms
What do you include
A valuable artifact
A generational mood
There’s beauty in the unknown
There’s unknown in the dark
There’s dark in the room we’re in
Because we haven't made a spark
Where there used to be fire
A history of phonographs
Playing anything inspired
By the heart and the belly laughs

Captivating album with a wide-ranging singer-songwriter sound. Careens from speak-singing growls and groussing (say, Tom Waits) to forlorn songs of love lost. Caplan's voice is expressive and dances freely, never a slave to the beat. Strong storytelling (without getting bogged down in narrative exposition). Must listen to "Down to the River". funk79

It usually takes me about 2 years for an album to really grow on me. I'm still really into The Forgettable Truth, not so forgettable as it turns out. The track Where Are You Now made a quick impression on me though. Also like love is all around and a couple others. sky-glass

Have had the pleasure of seeing Abigail perform twice (the Burdock & Winnipeg house concert). Her mad harmonic skills, compelling lyrics, and hilarious stage presence make each performance something special! heathenevelovesyou
Tender acoustic songs built on folk & guitar intermingle with field recordings from the small town of Blue Diamond, Nevada. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 20, 2021

If I were in a band like the Golden Gate Wingmen, playing songs from the Grateful Dead catalogue (the greatest songbook in the world) and other forever-glittering specimens of the art of song, like Dylan tunes, solo Beatles picks (Nobody Told Me, Any Road), Zevon, and Van Morrison's Beautiful Vision record, I would also stuff our setlists with songs from Visions of the Higher Dream. And I mean all of them. Not one song would pale in that company. That's how commanding and classic this album is. Grain Sparrow
