Please note that the vinyl edition of 'Songs for John Venn' is the original version of the album as it was released by S P I N S T E R in 2020, both digitally and on cassette. The digital songs offered here are not the versions on the album and serve as a sort of placeholder for the digital version of the original release, as Centripetal Force is only handling the vinyl edition and cannot offer a digital download for album.

Her voice, the vulnerability within, and a glorious sound, not overproduced but natural. 'Tender Heart' gets me - resonates in a way that is sad and glorious simultaneously. Discordant guitars behind a clean acoustic and voice ballad. Love her voice, her lyrics. Great album. BikeBoy29

I’m so grateful this crossed my path. This album is so beautiful. All the clear technique and mastery and vision are kinda secondary to the fact that this album brought me calm and joy during one of the most difficult times in my life. Yeah, grateful. David McCullough
