Influenced by Cocteau Twins, Mazzy Star, Brian Eno, Julee Cruise. Fen Hollins was raised by a single mother who worked the line at a Maine fish cannery, a reality that seeps into the bones of her music. Her songs, written on a vintage Juno-60 synthesizer in a small Portland apartment overlooking the sea, are love letters to a fisherman who, like the tide, always leaves and always returns. To pay rent, she spends her days transcribing the logs of 19th-century ghost ships, weaving their solitude into her own ethereal, reverb-soaked dream-pop.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You smooth the ballot receipt from the East End gym.
Number four-oh-eight, the ink is worn thin.
The air smells of floor wax and Tuesday's first rain,
You watch the vapor of your own breath stain the windowpane.

[Chorus]
Look at all this quiet, a bioluminescent swell.
You thought you were a shipwreck, ringing your own bell.

[Verse 2]
The woman with the bifocals said, "Name and street, please."
Her voice was gentle erosion, worn down by degrees.
You feel the abyssal pressure in the fluorescent-lit room,
Another ghost ship log transcribed against the coming gloom.

[Chorus]
Look at all this quiet, a bioluminescent swell.
You thought you were a shipwreck, ringing your own bell.

[Bridge]
And you want to thank them all but your jaw is locked so tight—
JUST. SIGN. THE. DAMN. THING.

[Outro]
The fog rolls in off Casco Bay.
You are not alone today.
