Stone Filipczak, one half of the indie folk duo @, has announced his debut album under the moniker E.R. Visit. my children will ignore you, my children will type amen will be out October 24, and its enchanting first two singles, ‘Burning Bush’ and ‘Bees in the Couch’, are out now. Take a listen below.
In a statement about the new tracks, the Maryland-born, Philadelphia-based artist said:
‘Burning Bush’ is the oldest song on the album, written on the porch of a Baltimore punk house I lived in around 2015 or so. The flutes at the beginning were recorded separately for a different song which got scrapped. They reminded me of what a burning bush might sound like so I included them as an intro.
‘Bees In The Couch’ is named after an occasion where I slept on an outdoor couch while on tour with Palberta. The couch was on a covered porch – everyone else slept inside on the floor. In the morning our host awoke and said “don’t sit on the porch couch, it’s full of bees.” I didn’t get stung and the image of the couch full of bees remained in my mind.
Filipczak recorded most of the new album while paying rent to a landlord who believed he was a spy, forcing him to move to Philadelphia. “The period in which this album was recorded ended up being defined by this guy who had economic power over me, through being my landlord, slowly going crazy and losing touch with reality,” Filipczak recalled. He added, “A lot of the songwriting is the negative space left behind by what @ became.”
