There’s a basketweaver In the corner Swamp and the city living There’s a candlemaker In a garden apartment That’s where they need him most Just biding times And the baskets burn When they meet inside The garden apartment And the candlemaker Shrugs his shoulders And says “ofcourse” What’s yours is mine And the poor old landlord Sifts through the rubble No more baskets He looks for candles And only sees ashes And melted wax What happened here? What happened here?

about

With Swamp & City, Christensen drops the reverb, stripping back his sound to the bare bones with ghostly vocals and gentle acoustic guitar. It’s a milieu in which Christensen finds comfort, resulting in yet another beautiful dimension to his already impressive sound world.
- Simon Kirk, Sun 13
