“There Is a Treasure ” from Portland, OR based Jeffrey Martin is a picturesque and focused poetic ballad, chock-full of choice lyrical nuggets, and refined acoustic guitar color. Jeffrey Martin’s forthcoming record, Thank God We Left the Garden, due out November 3rd via Fluff & Gravy Records brings a swath of die-hard Martin followers a record they have patiently waited for from an artist who never skimps on fully formed thoughts in the form of brilliant songcraft.
“This is a thankful ode to all that remains out of reach. To the brief glimpses of a place beyond time and worry, beyond death even, where we live purely and forever in the here and now and it stretches out past all measure. And in that place, we feel ourselves as beautifully unimportant, untethered from the din of our daily angst, a single part of the huge mystery of existence. What a special human gift to be able to see ourselves framed in that light, released for brief moments from the otherwise burdensome weight of being alive. And from that soft and careful vantage point, it’s a little easier to see the preciousness of each life and to find compassion for every person’s story,” says Martin.
