Pedal Brake 04:04
lyrics

As the rain falls down in sheets Crack a window / smell the breeze I drink it all in Main street still as stone Run down and overgrown Bike down the median Every little thing that passes by Becomes a part of me And I find I hold it dearer now just as it fades to black Found my north star in a midwest town Now I cycle through the fields Single speed with pedal brakes Downhill I’m coasting The weekend rituals 8 o clock in Sunday school They were my family Every little thing that passes by Becomes a part of me And I find I hold it dearer now just as it fades to black Found my north star in a midwest town Endless summer / Mother fell asleep Reading in the yard / Reading in the sun Out on the bleachers in the autumn Warm my fingers for the halftime show All I have left / relics and fragments knit together / fear it slipping now Can’t go back there / what I know now i’m unlearning To see the flesh and blood so clearly See it all now much more clearly And every little thing that passes by Becomes a part of me And I find I hold it dearer now just as it fades to black Found my north star in a midwest town

Leaves Turn 04:22
lyrics

Blue feet Sunshine Raised gardens Dirt and vine She’s down to earth She’s fallen down Leaves turn Air grows mild Thinking back my life as a child Her nature In my nature And I hope you know that I will ever be so grateful so grateful I hope you know that I will always hold these memories with me Father Works with his hands caked in dirt A gentle man The love of God He Weaves into a song Found there In his embrace Tenderness Soft eyes kind face Keeps to himself Draws a deeper well And I hope you know that I will ever be so grateful so grateful I hope you know that I will always hold these memories with me

Quarter Century 03:29
lyrics

My, how the days go by Ever shifting falling through an hourglass O when did we grow up so fast Dusk and the curtain falls Hear the siren’s call to join the pantheon But time’s run out, the course now run And in a century I know that we’ll be dead and gone A quarter century it seems that I’m still holding on in a century I know that we’ll be dead and gone A quarter century it seems that I’m still holding on to this War There’s a war in me In a fight to know if I could be someone There’s nothing new under the sun Fade melt into the void Into wisdom All that I will ever be I’m everything it’s all in me And in a century I know that we’ll be dead and gone A quarter century it seems that I’m still holding on in a century I know that we’ll be dead and gone A quarter century it seems that I’m still holding on to this

In the Blue 04:10
lyrics

On the shoreline In mind’s eye I thought I saw a rising tide Entered cycles Weathered things The storm clouds gathering in the spring Playing in the blue light that’s falling down Playing in the blue light Playing in the blue light that’s falling down Playing in the blue light Merged with her right from the start No trouble handing her my heart Loss of self left undisclosed The paranoia Creeping ghost Playing in the blue light that’s falling down Playing in the blue light Playing in the blue light that’s falling down Playing in the blue light Bearing pall for the third time The russian catholic funeral cries Packing out the childhood home We hold each mem’ry til it’s gone Playing in the blue light that’s falling down Playing in the blue light Playing in the blue light that’s falling down Playing in the blue light

Drenched in Summer 03:32
lyrics

It’s not the sun Not the light or warmth I find that binds Not the swelter felt or otherwise It’s in the dirt In the earth and moisture summarized Added weight The rain The one baptized Hold me under longer Purified Rain cloud on the verge of tears Hidden there for far too long Drenched in summer Hypnotized Holding loosely now O mountain god Perched up high above the wealthiest Wilt and bloom and venomous You held my hand Found the novelty inside a breath Filled the world with gentle tenderness Rain cloud on the verge of tears Hidden there for far too long Drenched in summer Hypnotized Holding loosely now I’ve taken stock Thought more somberly and towed the line Felt the gravity each morning time Hold me under longer Purified

Appetite 03:00
lyrics

Belabor in my favor Captive to another lie I’m enchanted wholly bought in Trophies glisten on horizon lines Keep it in motion a deed, unspoken pushing forward Drowning in the depths Wanna sink your teeth in Always feeding A wild hunger Restless appetite Baby Let’s have a baby Steal me / given and displaced holy shelter / holy water throw away the notion of control Keep it in motion a deed, unspoken pushing forward Drowning in the depths Wanna sink your teeth in Always feeding A wild hunger Restless appetite Coursing right through me Fastforward movie Everything dissolving In my tightened grasp Stop and mull it over Through the darkened winter All held together Reaching for the light I’m reaching for the light

Folding 03:48

Emotion Burns through moleskine My body couldn’t leave me Deep flesh exposing Searing oil a blister ope’ning O healing magic Carnel sacred in somatic Unlearn more I’ve unlearned more in my life clearly free Great specter Doesn’t dwell here Too broken Sinful token I am unbelieving Not the world I’ve held beneath me All is cleansing, folding Into everything belonging Unlearn more I’ve unlearned more in my life clearly free Unlearn more I’ve unlearned more in my life clearly free Unlearn more I’ve unlearned more in my life clearly free

Another Guise 02:26

A reign of rest is cast in brass another guise now donned a well worn story in medias res bone of my bone she’s all her own seems I’m all thumbs seems I’m her home from that place all the fondness blooms I am engulfed Submerged in love This christ-soaked world The mourning dove A sign divine and flesh are one

An Overlap 04:05

Down by the quiet lake The midday moon caught my eye Daylight can’t hide her face Another place I could be O Brother Moon Drifting across my plate A separate heart is one with mine Slowly an overlap Serene forgetting floods each part O Brother Moon

Flash in the Pan 04:15
lyrics

Sing the old refrain Wind the tapes back once again Humming constant drone Now i see she’s all her own Soft spoken Bare as rust Sunken deeper Hook, line, sinker Swallowed whole by all you are Grow up together Tendrils, tethered I have everything I need Playing with your hair Catch my gaze please keep me there Cry about your dad What a bright flash in the pan Soft spoken Bare as rust Sunken deeper Hook, line, sinker Swallowed whole by all you are Grow up together Tendrils, tethered I have everything I need Sunken deeper Hook, line, sinker Swallowed whole by all you are Grow up together Tendrils, tethered I have everything I need

about

Aldrich is the music of Minnesota songwriter and producer, Caleb Anderson. Anderson’s tender vocal and guitar performances are met by a band of friends willing to approach his songs with the playfulness and wide-eyed disposition that characterizes their music together as Aldrich.

The band’s forthcoming album, Another Guise, is a collection of songs that explore the tension between holding things dearly and holding things loosely. It chronicles the uncomfortable process of learning to speak from one's own heart.
