  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    So It Was (2019), the self-titled debut from Louisville Kentucky’s So It Was is an album filled with rich (and sometimes surprising) arrangements all centered around the intricate guitar and engaging voice of songwriter Daniel Lobb. These 10 songs (begun in the States and finished during a stint in France) are bound together by a quiet intensity and their sheer loveliness. In the same way that The Other Years, Joan Shelley, and Nathan Salsburg require the listener to tune-in, this record asks for your time and attention. If you want to really hear it, you’ll need to make space. It offers to you, in return, a golden heart and moments of transcendent beauty.

lyrics

You’re alright,
ashes still subsiding,
oh there’s fresh air all around.
Aground.
Nary a movement.
And proud of things you did before, things you do no more.
And I’ll only lay here awhile,
while I try to sink into the ground like the water.
Moss that ever slowly swallows
fallen trees and hollow houses.
Dampness come to one with marrow,
tomorrow’s fallow’s flower rouses.
Oh, I’m waking.
Heavy branches fallen from me.
Oh, they saw me.
I wasn’t hiding.
Take your time.
All the dawn that comes to rest on the sill beside my bed!
All is fine, all is fine, all is.
(Water’s fine.)

So It Was Louisville, Kentucky

Grown out of Lobb’s solo songwriting project, So It Was has become an agile indie-rock outfit, charming the Louisville scene and rippling out on tour and the interwebs.
