Anyway – Cape Elizabeth, Noah Kahan. “Always, I’ll wait // For sharp glass when you break // I’ll be the light that you can’t make // I’ll be your eyes, you be my face // Cause darling, I get scared for you // And I’m not busy anyway”. Cape Elizabeth - EP Tracklist . Hearing your own voice, every night for two months, you really start to notice the nasal and the lisp and everything – it starts to become pretty tough! Yeah, acoustic guitar… UVM shirt, beard – I check all the New England boxes. I feel that; I really feel that, and I wanted to explore that idea, but also do it in the lens of this Cape Elizabeth concept. I think Busyhead will always resonate with me; I feel like it really defines me as a person, that term. Yes. 7K 2. “Maine” is about two people who used to be together – used to be with each other – and are in very different places, and the perspective of one person wanting to go back to that simpler time, and reconsidering the aspirations that took him away in the first place. “My background in music is very much me on the acoustic guitar singing very folky songs, listening to Gregory Alan Isakov growing up, Paul Simon… Mumford and Sons are one of my favorite bands ever, and I used to make music like that all the time,” Kahan recently shared over a Zoom call. I’m worried about forgetting about worrying, I’m so concerned, and people seem so worried and the public consciousness was just so anxious, and I felt like that song spoke to what was going on. “It struck me as a place that could set the scene for the stories on this record,” Kahan explains. No matter where you live in the world, you’re likely trying to balance a steady diet of pandemic-related news and guidelines with the rest of life – work, family, friends, and so on. Do you know any background info about this album? In songs like ‘Anyway’ and ‘Close Behind’ it seems he is waiting for the other shoe to drop, or possibly fearing he will drop it himself. Kahan: I think that any fear you have goes through the kind of washing machine of just loss of perspective and cycling in your head about… it becomes bigger and bigger, and rotates from place to place, and you’re not able to really lose that until you look at it for what it really is – which is usually just an irrational fear. By submitting this form, you agree to the. I think sarcasm and dry stuff have been what I’ve connected to most, so I try to include that in songs. If I can get, like, one really good piece, then I know I’ll be able to finish that later. We speak with Noah Kahan about his much-anticipated debut album. I think it’s more just like you said, temporally – the delivery of the music itself is done in a more kind of soft, raw way. I can look at sad things from a funny perspective in my own life, and I try to kind of instill that instinct in the music. That’s also just because that’s an intention we had recording the EP, was doing it in a very raw, kind of, guitar, vocals way.

Kahan: What kind of put this project together was really the nature of the sudden change to everyone’s lives, my life, my career my perspective, with the coronavirus pandemic. I know I mentioned them last time, but they’re just so great. To long for something we no longer have, that we very much wish we still did. Kahan: Yeah, definitely. I write everyday anyways – I write things down and make sure I’m kind of practicing that skill always, because any kind of writing is valuable. “Cape Elizabeth was recorded over one week at my friend Phin Choukas’ home studio in Vermont exactly one week after I evacuated New York City due to the Coronavirus,” the Buyshead singer/songwriter explains. Yeah, I think my songwriting style definitely stays true to me – my life is the same, you know, so I write autobiographically for the most part, try to write about things that I think about – so that stays the same.

Back when Kahan was first starting to gain recognition in 2018, Atwood Magazine made a bold statement: That his songs “are a deft reminder that great songwriters make great songs.” While he already proved us right last year with his critically-acclaimed debut album Busyhead, Cape Elizabeth leaves us knowing without a doubt that Noah Kahan is a truly great songwriter: The radiant “Glue Myself Shut” acts as a sunny burst of light, and the poetic closer “Maine” brings us up close and personal with a scenic, breathtaking expanse full of nostalgic intimacy and imagery. They didn’t feel especially normal before COVID-19, and they certainly aren’t normal now. This EP was created in this troubling time period, and I wanted to do justice to the moment. Meanwhile, songs like the EP’s aching opener “A Troubled Mind” and the movingly bittersweet “Close Behind” glisten with sincerity as the artist embraces, clings to, and celebrates human connection.

Sometimes it can be hard to sit in those feelings, and it’s music like this that really reminds us of the small connections we all have. Kahan: Literally any reference to Maine or Cape Elizabeth came after I’d already written “Maine,” and decided I wanted to write this record about the town of Cape Elizabeth.

I felt like I was racing against other people and racing against my old self and racing against who I wanted to be, and racing against my expectations of myself, and I just wasn’t having a lot of fun with it.
