I'm A Lion
WHAT HAPPENED TO PAGE FRANCE'S Hello Dear Wind? All records of it seem to have been erased, and I'm panicking because a huge mistake has lost my emusic mp3s of the album (iPods and hard resets: damn it all). And I need that album now, when I feel like I'm searching and silly and small, because it's all those things too, and when I listen to it I feel like I've got something behind me.
As a substitute of sorts, I've acquired the band's previous album, Come, I'm a Lion, in hopes that it will have a similarly warming effect. I haven't gotten to know it like HDW yet, but it's obvious that the best parts are all present here. Page France channel wonder, an absolute and honest wide-eyed love for everything, through a soft and generously diffusive lens, the results comprise a grace which fascinates me endlessly. Most special to me is the theme of affinity running throughout the album, "You were made out of my ribs/ We share a heart we share a heart we share a heart..." sings Michael Nau on "Ribs," while elsewhere on the fantastic "Air Pollution" there is celebration as "everyone can share what's left/ We can share a breath/ We can share the air pollution." I reveled in HDW's jubilation and self-assuredness, the roots of which are clearly discerned on Come...
Visit Page France online, and buy the fantastic Come, I'm a Lion on Fall Records here.
UPDATE: Hello, Dear Wind will be re-released on Suicide Squeeze on September 12. Thank goodness.

im pretty sure you can redownload things you DL on emusic at no charge.

Google says Hello, Dear Wind should be here:
http://www.emusic.com/album/10878/10878947.html
And yet it isn't! How odd. I think I also downloaded HDW from eMusic and now I can't find it. When I go to Your Profile > Downloads > Page France I get zero results.
Good idea Heather, but I closed my acct (it was the 50 free trial thing). I guess asking the label what happened would be the smart thing to do.
IIRC, if you close your account, you might still be able to login and look at the 50 tracks you downloaded.
hey, if you need the tracks from hello dear wind like whoa... a friend [or an e-stalker like me] could upload them all for you.
