Sleep With Heat
"Resonates with quietly powerful songs about listless love and heartache  ... a new, altogether original exploration of modern romantic misery." -  VENUSDuring the writing and recording of Sleep With Heat, Carolyn Berk lived in  Athens, Boston, and Portland: the entire expanse of the touring musician's  American highway. It is this relentlessness and longing-turned-searching  that is woven into Sleep With Heat's tales of loneliness and heartache.  Broke-down, hungover laments from motel parking lots and frozen foreign  cities tell of the emotional labor of perpetual goodbyes, and of the  simultaneous enchantment of someone who doesn't stick around long enough to  ever get too comfortable in a place. Musically, Sleep With Heat finds the  band at its best, at times with expansive guitars and gorgeous strings, at  other times stripped down to the honest-bones sound of a banjo-plucked  Southern front porch. Features Phosphorescent members Brent Jones, Jesse  Flavin, and Matthew Houck, as well as Daniel Rickard (Parker and Lily).
