Lyrics:
I will sing you the song I was singing yesterday
Having you here, an instrument out of its case
Walnuts kowtowed by the sun on your roof
Underneath the bath runs, but no one’s in the room.
Insects run out by the rug over tile
Uncapped lotion sits on the furnace ledge
Myth a story you cannot leave
Story being only when its left.
And behind your voice descants of radio
The important thing was that we had no rehearsal
Collections of sleep are crowding low
Crowding low.
We’ll be performing songs from our EP, along with new originals, tonight at Rockwood Music Hall.

[Tyler Gilmore] is lending his innovative composing and arranging skills to indie chamber group Small Dream Ada, which is highlighted by Alaina Ferris‘s stunning vocals.
On Ninth and Lincoln’s last effort, Static Line, leader and composer Tyler Gilmore moved away from the standard big-band form and went in a different direction, one inspired by twentieth-century composers and minimalism. Now he’s lending his innovative composing and arranging skills to indie chamber group Small Dream Ada, which is highlighted by Alaina Ferris‘s stunning vocals. The Apollo Chamber Brass Quintet and Ninth and Lincoln guitarist Matt Fuller and vibraphonist Greg Harris also contribute to Ada’s four-song EP, resulting in textural elements similar to those found on Static Line that work remarkably well with Ferris’s singing. At times ethereal and dreamy, Golden Propeller is a gorgeous collaboration. – Jon Solomon

Last week, we went on a music video location scout with Brooklyn filmographer Steven S. Harrington for our song “I Shut My Eyes,” featured on our forthcoming EP.
While scouting, we decided to take some photographs the amazing dress made Joanna Baum, owner Sir by Joanna Baum.
The dress was made specially for Small Dream Ada’s pre-release party at Rockwood Music Hall on August 13th, 2012.
Thank you, Joanna!
