Caroline Smith and the Goodnight Sleeps: Wide Awake It’s Morning

Caroline Smith and the Goodnight Sleeps from Minneapolis, Minnesota sound like Regina Spektor with a banjo instead of a piano. Caroline has one of those voice that seems to be always waivering upwards and in interviews namechecks Billie Holiday. Their first album is “Backyard Tent Set” and it is real good with folkie oddness like “5 Months Too Long”. Buy the album or go on to daytrotter.com and download their session though it doesn’t include “5 Months” it does have the perfect Smith creation “Lack Of Height”. Altogether: “I’m falling asleep, I’m falling out of view…”
