There’s a house in town where no one ever goes
A man lives there behind no windows
He works all day breaking stone into rocks
Never takes a break or takes time to check his watch
Self-imposed sentence traded for a life that was lost
A tall stone fence surrounds his lonely house
The wind blows hard in the door that’s facing south
He made a deal and now he has to pay
Working for the devil often turns out that way
Now he’s breaking rock and waiting for his judgment day
The prison house did exist and many know its tale
About a man that killed his wife one night, but didn’t go to jail
Condemned to punish himself for life he quietly suffers alone
A town moves on unaware that the prisoner is at home
This Nashville trio make ultra-catchy indie rock (in the '90s sense of the term) with taut musicianship and a freewheeling spirit. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 2, 2021
The latest from Wren Kitz, on the always-great NNA Tapes, is a study in minimalism, with barely-there guitars and hushed vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable May 4, 2017
