Belief Society by Ben Swisher
This album happened accidentally and appeared out of thin air in the last month or so of my life. It's equal parts advent calendar, original songs and covers by friends living side-by-side in a small house, and a photo album of dream collaborations. But especially it's a place I seem to have kept track of my height on the wall in pencil.
