I came across iji the other day, liked the cover and gave it a listen. The slightly warbly voice made me immediately think of a cross between Daniel Johnston and Matthew Sawyer. So I clicked through to the release and was really blown away by who plays on this album.

Zach Burba (the songwriter here) is a longtime musician who has played with Katy Davidson in Dear Nora. Katy returns the favor by playing on "Automatically". But so does Adrienne Lenker (Big Thief), Luke Csehak (The Lentils), Erin Birgy (Mega Bog). And that's just a partial list of the collaborators on "Automatically".

Burba and iji are based in Los Angeles. This is being released by We Be Friends, a label located in Queens, New York.

You wanna know what to do with your life 'Cause you are 26, I understand I'll be the same this time next year and September rains will fall Well, I had always been the following one Yeah I used to obsess about Catching up and showing you That I was in your place But I will always be one year behind And hey, it doesn't matter now that we are equals in the eyes of love You wanna know what to do with your life When I am 26, I'll understand September rains will fall again But still a mystery 'Cause I will always be one year behind And hey, it doesn't matter now that we are equals in the eyes of love

Now that I'm far away, things are easy to say to

A person who's heard it all before

But I won't close the door even if the wind blows

'Cause I want to feel the things that nobody knows

And I know when the wind blows it goes something like nobody knows

And I know when the wind blows it goes la-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la la la

(From “When the Wind Blows” by Dear Nora)

be careful not to lose control! it’s better not to cry or to look me in the eye when you leave and you let it go

"Literal Skulls Example Long-Sleeve T-Shirt"

from Dear Nora

[masqueradecharlie]

Dear N,

I often wonder if you hate me after everything said. I can't take back words or time travel. I have to accept that I'm never going to see you again. Words I can't say out loud. Just the thought breaks everything all over again as do the thoughts I have of you. I didn't plan on a life without you and I'm struggling to learn how to do that. My Life lost it's color. I doubt you think of it all. That's the hardest part I'm trying to swallow and accept.

2/11/23.

The Lost Days are Tony Molina (Ovens and Tony Molina) and Sarah Rose Janko (Dawn Riding). "Lost Demos" is their first release - its being handled by The Long Road Society (everything - artist and label - is based in Oakland, California).

It sounds like what you might think a Tony Molina side project sounds like: Byrds/Simon & Garfunkel might be the most obvious. I'd also mention Tony Jay. And the description on this release also mentions "classic Guided By Voices", Dear Nora and Bill Fox (I guess I need to listen to this).

The Lost Days not only have this cassette but a brand new LP available on Speakeasy Studios SF.
