Dear anne,
Since we are parting ways, perhaps forever, I feel I must unburden my heart. You are the fond object of my affection and my desire. You and you alone are the keeper of the key to my heart. Please, don’t be alarmed. I don’t expect your favor. But I can’t in good conscience not reveal myself. I’m not engaged, nor will I be, unless it’s to you, Anne. My Anne with an “e.” It always has been, and always will be, you.
With love,
Gilbert
FOLKLORE (2020.07.24)
In isolation my imagination has run wild and this album is the result, a collection of songs and stories that flowed like a stream of consciousness. Picking up a pen was my way of escaping into fantasy, history, and memory. I’ve told these stories to the best of my ability with all the love, wonder, and whimsy they deserve.
Now it’s up to you to pass them down.
