Becalmyounglovers is as much a return as it is a farewell. Phil Moore”s first Bowerbirds album since 2012 is an artifact of transition, a domino effect of doors closing and Moore stumbling headfirst into the uncertainty of what comes after a life fundamentally changes. Like a polaroid slowly swimming into focus, becalmyounglovers reconciles the memories of yourself in relation to another person, and then what”s unearthed when you”re left to face your identity alone – and which one of those selves is true? Written and recorded mainly in an isolated cabin hand built by Moore and his ex-partner, out in Siler City, North Carolina, becalmyounglovers chronicles a long-term relationship”s death rattle, inevitable breakup, and it”s immediate aftermath – and Moore”s getting to understand himself better in the process. These songs don”t trudge through upheaval – instead, they float, still sanguine and light in the face of plans gone , true to Moore”s songwriting, the heaviness of the subject matter still glimmers with an innate hopefulness. Becalmyounglovers is like wading deep into the psyche of a potential identity crisis, but there”s no darkness here – instead, Bowerbirds plumbs the depths with the windows open, a breeze flowing in, a smattering of sunlight across the floor and the sounds of outside filtering in, the promise of a new morning right around the corner.
