Our tears can well up and bubble over. To define ourselves as “well” is the most basic term of goodness. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat’s on the other side of the well? Inside the tunnel of change, or this life, we can either feel intimidated by the darkness of uncertainty, or excited by the possibility of nourishment. Songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist Jess Shoman wonders, “what the hell,” why don’t we go for the excess of love we deserve?

Shoman admits that their first album dealt with letting go of painful life experiences, resulting in emptiness. In this recent collection of wiser years and distance from that former grief, Tenci carries an opposite feeling, a celebration of self-rejuvenation. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Swollen River, A Well Overflowing\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e shows Shoman steering their inventive music further and wilder, spilling over with 12 fable-like songs. In a combination of milk, coins, glass, water, and light, each song forms a spell to “fill my heart back up,” Shoman says, “by reframing complex feelings by turning my head sideways and seeing them in a different way.”  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShapeshifter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVanishing Coin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat Big Elephant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCold Dirty Water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Ball Spins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharp Wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOut of Body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSour Cherries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwallow Me Whole, Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo Cups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMemories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 762983629530\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keeled Scales\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.16.22\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42115245146187,"sku":"649706","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/7223\/1499\/files\/4132347-2898907.jpg?v=1770190544","url":"https:\/\/rockbandmerch.com\/products\/tenci-a-swollen-river-a-well-overflowing-clear-lp","provider":"Rock Band Merch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
