lyrics
300 letters in the sea,
never to be seen,
never to be heard from
until they washed up on the jersey shore,
tired and soaked through,
and long overdue for their review, but
grady cooper isn't home,
grady cooper isn't home,
he packed his bags and bought
a one way ticket home
so to save those letters from their scarlet graves,
i dove off steel pier,
before the auctioneers arrived
and under double decker carousel,
i read them one by one,
they were sent from someone,
who didn't know their dear old
grady cooper isn't home,
grady cooper isn't home,
he packed his bags and bought
a one way ticket home
never to be seen,
never to be heard from
until they washed up on the jersey shore,
tired and soaked through,
and long overdue for their review, but
grady cooper isn't home,
grady cooper isn't home,
he packed his bags and bought
a one way ticket home
so to save those letters from their scarlet graves,
i dove off steel pier,
before the auctioneers arrived
and under double decker carousel,
i read them one by one,
they were sent from someone,
who didn't know their dear old
grady cooper isn't home,
grady cooper isn't home,
he packed his bags and bought
a one way ticket home

This is the first album I found that really spoke to me as a young fem. From the simplicity, the bass drum, specifically in landfill is so steady and soothing. I love landfill because it perfectly portrays trauma bonds, sexual or romantic relationships rooted in power imbalance. Being led on, unrequited love, constantly being clueless if someone is a real friend, or a lover. Are they yours or are they ruthlessly rogue. Untameable. Love and hate are such similar feelings, and they often mingle.

Through the Deep, Dark Valley
by The Oh Hellossupported by 4 fans who also own “Letters in the Sea”
This album makes me want to run in a valley, dance near a bonfire, and repent for all my sins at the same time.

The Oh Hellos have come to hold a very special place in my heart, not just in this album, but in others as well. Hello My Old Heart was one of the first songs I ever heard by them, and it's been a treasured journey listening to them ever since.
