Influenced by Vampire Weekend, Real Estate, The Shins, Yo La Tengo. Keaton Fields spent a decade in a Halifax workshop building custom furniture, guided by the nail-less Japanese joinery his luthier father taught him. After a long-term relationship collapsed under the weight of his obsession, he sold his tools and started writing songs on a guitar his father built. His music carries a carpenter's precision, examining the structural integrity of love and memory with a clear eye and a steady hand.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The Seahorse Tavern, Tuesday, after ten.
You’re tracing the Bluenose on a dime piece again.
The look you gave that stranger wasn't meant for me to see—
a silent current pulling you away from him, and me.

[Chorus]
And the harbour is quiet tonight.
I'm just treading water in the low, slack light.

[Verse 2]
He asked me Thursday, over coffee at the Nook,
"You've been quiet lately." Just one honest look
could break the surface, let the whole dark water in.
The air felt heavy, like the fog before the rain.

[Chorus]
And the harbour is quiet tonight.
I'm just treading water in the low, slack light.

[Bridge]
Some truths are anchors, some are just the tide.
There is no high ground here for me to hide.
We're all just vessels with a shallow draft and a deep, dark hold.

[Outro]
The harbour is silent.
Just the low, slack light.
