earth tones

by Izzy Johnson

supported by

Donovan Murphy Fully unique, fully immersive. It grounds you. In some places, it hits like if Daughter's "Switzerland" got the album treatment on acoustic. Favorite track: existing.

Joe Borreson Izzy has lovingly and carefully created what is best described as pure earthy solace woven into a warm blanket of healing sound, with this album. Reverb drenched guitars swim around Izzy's sweet vocal lines that adorn more than anything, as the words are hard to decipher, but its the feeling which embodies it all in gauzy wonder. Acoustic shoegaze folk, maybe? Gorgeous and healing music just as it was intended. Thank you, Izzy. Favorite track: seeing.

newcommute An ethereal and transcending work

Driftless Recordings 2021

this music was made while based on lands stewarded by the anishinaabe peoples, who include the odawa and potawatomi

opening - i am opening all here standing in a dream as we walk through a sea of green shadows drop us to our knees

loving - oh my love first one to share love i can see the good brought out in me warmth between our hearts give believe me take it in ‘round your love my head spins some kind love

existing - foggy eyes when we stayed out distant lives it’s all the same let us fade in changing tide wanders in and out comes in threes hold in my hand how to show you existing

growing - it’s easy when you know what you’re doing again while some grow depends on their road it’s easy so clearly to see while some stay they’re so far away

falling - face forgotten all the while unknown down tastes sing softly on the other side down cautious splendor of still water drifts through untranslated in the depths returns sun under oceans filling up my skin whole fog drifts slowly falling deep inside still changing patterns hidden meaning shown within loving bodies disappearing in waves

seeing - never was the same seeing

I’m so grateful this crossed my path. This album is so beautiful. All the clear technique and mastery and vision are kinda secondary to the fact that this album brought me calm and joy during one of the most difficult times in my life. Yeah, grateful. David McCullough

Reminds me of getting back home after a long road-trip. That feeling of relief. The peace of being in your own presence.
