The men slowly toured the perimeter of the house, taking notes and photographs, like archeologists mapping out a ruin. Upon opening the back door, Vasquez observed that there was just enough space to squeeze past the refrigerator blocking the exit. The air smelled of burned rubber and melted wires; a damp ash covered the ground, sticking to their boots. In the kitchen, Vasquez and Fogg discerned only smoke and heat damage—a sign that the fire had not originated there—and so they pushed deeper into the nine-hundred-and-seventy-five-square-foot building. A central corridor led past a utility room and the master bedroom, then past a small living room, on the left, and the children’s bedroom, on the right, ending at the front door, which opened onto the porch. Vasquez tried to take in everything, a process that he compared to entering one’s mother-in-law’s house for the first time: “I have the same curiosity.” - Trial by Fire. by David Grann

note: A list that has sound like a conversation while walking in late afternoon. Or maybe small room acoustic. I like finding that balance between talking voice and singing, between lyrical and straight forward story, song hat weave itself like gentle conversation in between two persons. If you play them just below conversation volume, they will sneak up on you. At any rate, click around the artists above. They are all just starting out releasing work on their own. Hope you like them. cheers.
