A cello leaning against a brick wall, a bare bulb hanging up and left of the cello, and its bow on the wooden floor in a circle of warm light

Marlowe Saari

Eight cello songs from Duluth, on vinyl

I recorded them alone in a rented room by the ore docks, with one cello and one microphone, and on two of them you can hear the freighters' horns. Pre-order the record and the digital album is yours to download the same day.
