A gloriously warm, beautiful folk-rock sound and one several songs from the American multi-instrumentalist and producer Sam Beam’s upcoming solo project’s eighth album, Hen’s Teeth, in which lovers are so entwined they physically merge. “Praying for dry ground / Though I only want to drown / When I find myself swimming in your ocean.”Hen’s Teeth is out via Sub Pop on 27 February.

I've been closing my eyes
Coming back to life
And I cry when my heart is only broken
Praying for dry ground
Though I only want to drown
When I find myself swimming in your ocean
I've been pining for light
When the moon is full and bright
You can laugh, but I take it as a token
Praying for dry ground
Though I only want to drown
When I find myself swimming in your ocean
First it's where you been then why you're in the way
Never what you want, but how much you can take
Lonely wave toward the shore
Lonely sparrow singing for its lonely world
Its lonely world
So I name what I've lost
Whether really lost or not
And I keep making for a door that isn't open
Praying for dry ground
Though I only want to drown
When I find myself swimming in your ocean
First it's all you want thеn all that you can take
Never who you'll bе, but when you're gonna break
Lonely horses running through
Lonely flowers call into their lonely world
Their lonely world
You can die where you stand
Try to land the best you can
You'll wander off any path you might have chosen
If it sounds too severe
Like thunder disappears
We all learn what we will about devotion
When we make for dry ground
Though we really oughta drown
All these leaves keep sinking in slow motion
I don't want to be saved
How I wish you felt the same
When I find myself swimming in your ocean
When I find myself swimming in your ocean
