Creekbed Carter Hogan makes their debut with Good St Riddance, written during the pandemic year of 2020 and recorded over the span of a week in Arkansas/unceded Quapaw and Osage land. “I spent a week making field recordings of myself playing in roadside ditches, beside waterfalls and springs, tucked into fields, huddled beneath a tin roof,” says Brewer. “[Each song is] a single take, an archive of a moment when the only other musicians I could play with were bluebirds diving for bugs at dusk, millipedes jangling along in the leaf litter, and acorns falling just right on the roof above me while the mountain mist turned to rain.”

Raw and haunting, intimate and handmade with care, Good St Riddance recasts the legend of St Riddance, patron saint of trans and nonbinary people, in a neo-Southern Gothic setting. The pared-down arrangements, striking vocals, and confessional lyrics evoke a sound reminiscent of Sufjan Stevens, Lucinda Williams, or Adrianne Lenker - but the narrative work done here within each song is a triumph all its own. With Good St Riddance, Brewer humbly invites us to kneel before a different kind of altar, to look within, to speak up, to reach out, and, finally, to lay down our bodies and rest.

A portion of all future proceeds will be donated in solidarity to the Osage Nation Foundation.
