About
The Twin Bed EP is Claire Rousay's first solo work with a softer touch. It features extra snapshots of her rich field recordings and her more melodic recent work. In the moving title track, Rousay's piano playing takes the lead, gradually giving way to guitar and a lush, synthesized atmosphere. Behind this, you can hear kids running, domestic chores being done, people chatting, and objects making sounds. Then, strings and keys join in, along with Rousay's soft, close - up vocals, making the listener feel like a confidant. The next three songs are from 2020. One is a short, lovely instrumental inspired by a long - distance friendship called 'You Sent Me Kink In The Mail', and two are expressive, personal non - melodic pieces named 'Trip 1' and 'Trip 2' that bring back memories of Rousay's earlier work.
