Near simultaneously as she explored a deftly programmed interpretation of her fluttering folk, Kate Bollinger also began experimenting with a talented camaraderie of jazz musicians. She credits her band – comprised of Trainium, Chris Lewis, Jacob Grissom, and Jimmy Trussell – with unlocking the latent swing in her compositions, demonstrated on this summer’s delightful 'I Don’t Wanna Lose EP.' The collection’s genre-fluid charm has struck Bollinger some newfound playlist traction, without inviting cynicism that she’s some type of algorithm optimizing savant. Instead, she slots naturally onto every mood board simply because her music hits all the right notes: unhurried tempos, round-edged chord progressions, redolent yet winding melodies strung together emotively without losing their composure. The songs fall onto your ears like cool skin on a hot, sticky day, when the AC is broken but the company keeps you comfortably preoccupied. Yet none of the fancy new production or instrumental adornment undermine Bollinger’s core songwriting ability; no matter the material her words are printed on, the message holds together the medium.

lyrics
People come and go, they’re all the same it seems
I’ve got too many holes where lovers used to be
Can’t be good for me, but I don’t like to be alone really
Storm headed south, missed me by a couple miles
I was almost in the mouth of trouble, I was excited
I wanna be afraid of something again
Either stick around until things fall apart, or you get the hell out of there early
And wonder what could’ve been, I’m not saying I have a preference
The worst thing you could do is leave, when I tell you, “just go”
We both know I don’t wanna you to leave me alone
The worst thing you could do is leave, when I tell you, “just go”
Don’t listen to me, don’t listen to me no
It’s not your job to apologize for things that hurt me, though I half expect you to know what will
I thought getting older would make me strong
And I’m tired, is it showing?
I wanna change my temperament and change my mind,
but it’s hard to do when I’m set on something
And is that all, will you be going?
I need a sense of urgency that I hope you’ve got,
For you to call me back even when I tell you not to
The worst thing you could do is leave, when I tell you, “just go”
We both know I don’t wanna you to leave me alone
The worst thing you could do is leave, when I tell you, “just go”
Don’t listen to me, don’t listen to me no
Don’t listen to me, don’t listen to me

A truly stunning album that mentally transports you to foggy early morning streets, the pavement wet from recent rains. Dreary, but in a comforting way. Like sitting next to a window during a rainstorm, listening to the drops hit the glass while remaining warm. Never fails to make me feel safe. Crow Yo
