Kristin Andreassen - Gondolier (2015)

Gondolier abounds with inventive, unexpected melodies, lyrics, and arrangements, which contrast the pastoral with the urban. Largely written on Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire but with her Brooklyn home in mind, Gondolier finds Andreassen lyrically contemplating the differences of expectation and reality and juxtaposing her modern Brooklyn indie influences with deep-rooted traditional sensibilities.
