10 Songs is an album that holds you in it's own emotional microclimate at the outset and keeps you there. It's also a grown-up record. 10 Songs is a record about the way life comes at love and what love does to weather those challenges. "This is no rehearsal/This is the take," sings Fran at the beginning of "Waving At The Window," over an insistent piano hook, "Promises you once kept/Are going to break." Every track on this album carries an even load. No passengers here. Nowhere to hide.
