Here are a couple of alt-country/indie gems to cleanse the palate after all that heavy mental lifting from the last post. The first is a song I’d forgotten about until recently, Trailer Bride’s spooky, smoky rendition of “Hope is a Thing with Feathers”. Yes it’s Dickinson with a drawl (and a singing saw)!
And this is one that I’ll admit I’m a bit biased over— I have to show support for the Orlando music scene!
Right. Back to the grindstone. Er, I mean, word processor.

Thank you for posting the Trailer Bride video. I’m always happy to discover more bands making good use of the singing saw. I’ll invite Trailer Bride’s Mellissa to the Musical Saw Festival in NYC.
All the best,
Saw Lady

You’re welcome! For a long time I thought it was a theremin, honestly, because it’s not often you see a singing saw used—which is a shame, IMO.
Thanks for reading.
