...quiet afternoon...

Two ambient pieces for you today, both combining a heavy lean on the traditional with the deconstructed bytes of digital sound. Colleen has her second album out now and it's a beautiful step up, showcasing her intricate guitar work and pitch-perfect melodies. To stir into your daily download, the second cut is from an album that graced my "top 10 of '04 list". 'Handwriting' gives you more of a beat, but still keeps your head low to the ground. Go ahead and let these sublime moments bring you into the new week.
