The woman who stares out at you from the cover of Lost in the Trees’ second album resembles a Renaissance muse more than a photographed subject. She is the mother of the band’s frontman Ari Picker, and she took her own life in 2009. That loss naturally haunts the musician, as such a tragedy would anyone, but A Church That Fits Our Needs addresses her death in a roundabout way, favoring allegorical storytelling over straightforward eulogizing. Picker infuses his lyrics with North American magical realism, full of dark forest, dead birds, mysterious churches and ominous lakes, and the band soundtracks them with florid arrangements that stop just shy of fussy.

We buy a lot of used vinyl here at The Record Exchange, and every day we’re surprised but what comes through the door.
But last week, our jaws hit the floor. Hard.
