In those warm opening days of summer, when blood sour peach-folds invite sensation and mind to mix, the twinkling of keys seem to forever plink and reverberate in the background. Like lithe fingers on warm skin, Theodore Schafer plays those backdrop notes with care and precision. On Portrait (part of Bridgetown Records’ 2016 Summer Piano Batch), Schafer’s frail and roomy acoustic piano summons up past evenings spent watching the horizon filled with trees bowing lightly in the breeze as nostalgia trails in and out of eyesight and mindset.
Listen to the entire album below, and be sure to pick up a copy of the limited cassette before it sells out.
