Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
During lockdown, Little Earthquakes gathered in a converted chicken coop on a rural Wisconsin farm to write and record their debut album, Promises. It was a perfect bubble for the band to explore without pressure or restriction. The result shifts easily between danceable grooves, unshakable hooks, quiet interludes, and raucous side trips, while Annie’s lyrics explore a young woman’s journey to find, and assert herself among life’s heartbreaks, wrong turns, and missed connections.

lyrics

Oh My heart was bursting with desire
Fertile ground
For growing misery

And your words were breezy
Like a towel
On a line in the wind on a sunny day

Always want someone who’s a vision
Just smoke
Destroyed by fresh air and rain
Show me a truth that I can accept

So the most gentle thing
That I can do for me
Is to hide in these shadows
‘til I can finally see

And the most noble thing
That I can do for you
Is to hide in these shadows
‘til I’m not longer blue

But I combat this repetition
I combat this repetition

Oh My heart was bursting with desire
Fertile ground for
Growing misery

And your words were breezy
Like a towel
On a line in the wind on a sunny day

Show me a truth that I can accept

So the most gentle thing
That I can do for me
Is to hide in these shadows
‘til I can finally see

And the most noble thing
That I can do for you
Is to hide in these shadows
‘til I’m not longer blue

But I combat this repetition
I combat this repetition
I combat
I combat
I come back
