Ainsley Wagoner's upbringing by her church musician parents becomes readily apparent on her project Silverware's new single "Take Me With You” thanks to the unmistakable sound of the Hammond organ that permeates the track. Expertly recorded in raw, lo-fi glory by Omar Akrouche of like-minded friends Worthitpitchase, the post-breakup anthem showcases the multi-instrumentalist's singular voice and penchant for raw and honest lyricism.
The powerful track was recorded in fragments in voice memo form on Wagoner's phone and almost abandoned entirely due to its deeply personal nature. "Take Me With You" exists in the all-too-familiar but necessary phase of anger and despair turning into self-reflection in between a breakup and the start of a new relationship. Wagoner makes no attempts to hide from complicated emotions, singing "Take all the photos off the wall, I can't replace them all," while letting the emotion in her voice build as the instrumental drops out and lets her voice appropriately carry the song's emotional climax on its own.
Silverware’s No Plans is out April 23rd.
