I am delighted to report that Harrison Lemke is at it again. This indie music guy, whose album inspired by the Book of Genesis I reviewed for First Things<\/a>, is back with a four-song EP exploring the emotional landscape of our first parents, and the sudden changes their sin made in the world around them.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s so terrific\u2013wistful, stunned, self-lacerating. Lemke finds images I\u2019d never considered: the first death, which is not a human death but a sparrow\u2019s. The first accidents (\u201cWe got covered in blood\/But it wasn\u2019t enough\u201d). The redefinition of gratitude and sharp, complete lowering of expectations (\u201cThe river\u2019s wide\/And the river\u2019s deep\/And it\u2019s a wonder you don\u2019t kill us in our sleep\u201d). Ah, it\u2019s so fully-imagined and strange. Every time the harmonica comes in it\u2019s so right and painful. I love the bouncy, flirtatious \u201cAnimals,\u201d and man, the lyrics of that song are so evocative. The line, \u201cFeel you looking at me like I\u2019m looking at you,\u201d balanced on that razor edge of sex and predation\u2013so good<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Our old friends see us coming and they remember what we\u2019ve done,<\/em><\/p>\n

Smell us on the wind and they know they\u2019ve gotta run.<\/em><\/p>\n

If you like the Mountain Goats you will love this. If you like the less punk-rock side of Elvis Costello I\u2019d also suggest giving it a spin.<\/p>\n

You can listen for free here<\/a>. Why not bring him to your town to play?<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
