  • Old News - Vinyl LP SOLD OUT
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    12" Vinyl by Kaneshii Vinyl on Prince Edward Island.

    Terra Spencer and Ben Caplan became good friends over a cup of tea, with a tender song about a VCR played on Ben's kitchen piano. That afternoon visit was the beginning of Old News, a collection of eleven new songs from Terra's notebook shaped by Ben's imagination as a debut producer. The album was recorded with a host of Halifax's finest players at Fang Recording in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Told by Terra's butterscotch voice and featuring Ben's distinctive sandpaper baritone, these are nostalgic songs about the gentle art of saying goodbye.

lyrics

The sweet smell of orange trees and coffee
and street market leather
Under the weather in the Portuguese sun
The blue patterned tiles repeating,
the days run together
Under the weather, I am missing someone

In the heat of the night I hear music,
It sings in my memory
With the words that I wish I had said
When I kissed you goodbye
As the sounds from the street
Hang between me and sleep
I pretend we can be together
Under the weather and the red sunset sky

The waves play with each grain of sand
On the coast I am counting
Dip my toes in the fountain
We're an ocean apart
In Porto, the city of bridges
I feel disconnected
More than I expected
I thought more of my heart

In the heat of the night I hear music,
It sings in my memory
With the words that I wish I had said
When I kissed you goodbye
As the sounds from the street
hang between me and sleep
I pretend we can be together
Under the weather and the red sunset sky
