‘sharing perils’ by stephen foster feels like watching the ocean breathe from a quiet cliffside. soft, sad, and slow to unfold – like memories you forgot were still there.

based in santa cruz, foster blends hush with heartache: trumpet sighs, music box glimmers, lullabies that stretch into twilight. influences like elliott smith and ennio morricone echo faintly, but the hush is all his – gentle guitar, whispered vocals, silence used like a second instrument.

standout tracks include the beautiful ‘olam’, and ‘the ‘george bailey’s honeymoon’ – which fizzes along with in a cute lemonheads kinda way. overall the production is honestly stunning, and alongside the songs, it’s really an album that deserves a listen.

some songs bloom with band color, others just hum in the dark. all of them feel deeply still. we absolutely love this one.

thank u for making this stephen foster ❤️
