Trickery by Lilith Lane

❤️ There’s beauty and brutality in simplicity, my album of self-accompanied acoustic songs, Trickery, is expectedly intimate and raw. I recorded these on piano or guitar in my Melbourne studio in the disconnected year of 2022. I visit themes of the relationship of song-writing to seclusion, nature’s constant reminders of mortality, first loves, death, intimacy, violence and connection. 'Rain' is a tribute to Greg Bukshteyn and Justin Cusack, friends and band mates from Black Pony Express who left the mortal world in the past few years, and a song for musician friend Mike Noga who also made an early departure. Between online funerals and forced isolation there’s still hope and light. It’s a deeply personal collection in a simplistic format, a departure from the jangling electric guitars of my garage blues band record Pilgrim. I planned to re-record these with a other musicians, but decided that these recordings capture the mood of the times. I hope you enjoy these quiet sometimes dreamy, sometimes dark stories and melodies. - Lilith xx ❤️
