Named after Dylan's “Corina Corina”, Repp got an earful of the folk singer growing up. Her father, an accomplished guitar maker, instilled in her a love for the instrument, which she took to as a teenager. Her first steps toward a music career came in the late 90's. Drawing on influences such as Gillian Welch, The Cowboy Junkies, Giant Sand and other country-tinged performers, Repp's first efforts have the earmarks of alternative-country: a world-weariness, a subtle drawl, minor key narratives of lost love, tragedy and redemption. A dramatic shift came in 1999 with a the release of the EP The Other Side is Mud. Here Repp found her unique voice: She tempered her vocal delivery, rarely venturing past a conversational volume. Strummed guitar was largely phased out in favor spare finger picked figures or undulating romantic melodies. The shift toward minimalism heightened the drama of her narratives which also underwent transformation from literal to figurative. The end result was evocative of the ethereal otherworldliness of misty, zen landscape paintings, or the stark In those days Repp did make some attempts to collaborate. The short lived State Flowers-- a band which she co-fronted--recorded and self released one record then fizzled out. A couple gigs with drummers were interesting but lacking something that her electrifying solo performances achieved. Repp soon took to performing a few numbers with a “Dr. Groove” drum machine. Repp's first major recording accomplishment was a sleeper.
Recorded at The Type Foundry with Adam Selzer (The Decemberists, M. Ward, Norfolk and Western) I Take On Your Days is a slow-burning, intimate, cohesive collection of songs establishing Repp's singularity. The songs stretch out and serve as horizon lines for the vocals. Accompaniments of sustained, droning notes are punctuated by her vocal melodies, pretty but never delicate, never girly. Always a woman. The lyrics mix contempt--served chillingly cold--with radiant, sublime love, sidestepping cliches and maudlin histrionics. Witnessing Repp perform her material in 2002, it took Keith Schriener, an accomplished electronic musician (Dahlia, Auditory Sculpture, Suckapunch), several months to build up the courage to ask her if she would like to collaborate with him. After some trial runs, the two embarked on a series of casual sessions which would come to produce the enchanting, symbiotic It's Only The Future. The drill was straightforward: Repp would come in the studio and play her song while Keith found a tempo and suggested beats. Repp played producer, largely taming Schreiner's instincts, reducing beats to rudiments, synth figures to texture. The subject matter of the songs is largely inspired by the slow walk to separation in her marriage, sparking questions of identity and instinct. Once again, the songs bear her musical trademarks: panoramic space, entrancing simplicity, wizened lyrical perspective. Repp will take these songs to the stage again, performing throughout the west with The Decemberists, M. Ward and others

Idyllwild & Lost Horse Idyllwild and lost horse Driving arms I don't miss my bed And the fire burns a season August irons I don't miss my bed Everyone is gone Obligation moves them on And I don't speak I'm just sitting I have nowhere I have to be Be They were howling near and far Sirens in the dark Obligation moves pulls them on With the postcards on a shelf And next to no-one There's nothing else Everyone is gone Obligation moves them on And I don't speak I'm just sitting I have nowhere I have to be Be Everyone is gone Obligation moves them on And I don't speak I'm just sitting I have nowhere I have to be Be
At The End Of The Night At the end of the night When all is done It doesn't matter what he said Or what was won At the end of the night When all is done And I should have told you to fuck off But you're no one At the end of the night When all is done I knew from the minute I walked in I didn't want to be there Despite the empty chairs I gave myself in stare His big grin didn't bother me I knew not to trust it I knew not to trust it Trust it At the end of the night When all is done Doesn't matter what he said 'Cause you don't And I'm sticking to my guns I'm sticking to my guns Despite the empty chairs I gave myself in stare His big grin didn't bother me 'Cause I knew not to trust it I knew not to trust it Trust it At the end of the night When all is done And I should have told you to fuck off But you're no one You're no one

April fool And I'm still Wondering where you went He said a month or two ago I'd be your groom I'd be your groom I'm Sorry I say There's not enough room, for the both of us It was just too perfect to trust And I'm still Wondering where you went this is the death of me and you the death of me and you We found out, you didn't need me And I found I didn't need you It was just just too perfect to trust
Minutes will I feel like such a fool When I stand next to you I wish my back was turned unrecognizable to them I wish he had something that I could believe in But that won't change if you try And the minutes, they'll turn when I'm gone And the minutes, they'll turn when I'm gone I feel absurd When I stand next to you And if my back was turned Could I entertain you Am I the one who should be In the bright lights It's too dark, I can't see their face And the minutes, they'll turn when I'm gone And the minutes, they'll turn when I'm gone And the minutes, they'll turn when I'm gone
Raleigh School Birds When you were mine When you were mine Rosiness struck me blind My head hit the fence And they swarm, they swarm like bees And watching them I feel small And gracefully they fly to sleep And gracefully they fly to sleep And they fly, they fall to sleep And they fly, they fall to sleep And I am fine, fine, fine I am fine I am fine I am fine
They sang the solo ( Mile: a hush compilation ) I bought a knife And carved your name Up on stilts On the tallest tree We build a fort No one could see And I became your queen And you became my prince But I made you up You don't exist And you never did And you never did And I became your queen And you became my prince But I made you up You don't exist And you never did And you never did
I Take On Your Days
Did You Say You Were Grown Have you had enough Of me and you You have no response You're not happy for me And you're hanging on With your tiny threat With your tiny threat Are you that desperate Are you that desperate I'm not that desperate Do you seem And your heart is obvious and you You want the world to know You want the world to know So you ignore me Did you say you were grown Did you say you were grown Did you say you were grown Did you say you were grown Opinion What if I Never raised my voice You'd never know How weak I can be What if I Never said anything But compliments Would you be happy Now that you're gone I think that it would be better If you found someone who had No opinion at all No opinion at all What if I Never raised my faith You'd never know I could be like this What if I Agreed with everything I would be Just like you know Now that you're gone I think that it would be better If you found someone who had No opinion at all No opinion at all
Your Son Now
What happens to the plans You've made And haven't kept He put his head down After all was said I won't argue Over what was his Now that he's gone I put the coat on I put the coat on I put his coat on That never quite fit I raise my wage With what was his You can have it If you want I'll take the picture I'll take the picture I'll take the picture From the Fourth of July When the rockets cleared the sky And he stood by my side and said You're a good kid You're a good kid You've been a good kid For all of your life
Undertow You say that our Best mistakes are Your undertow from war Since the day we were born Moving back and forth You know that it has no word And nowhere to go Just leave it alone I'm not trying to make you commit To who you've been And who you've known And is it better now that you're grown And are you better now that you are home I'll back you up, take your mind It looks that I've done something right Good news
You don't want the good news I don't have any other If I was confused Would you like me any better So you shut them all down All because you knew how Is there any good news Left coming from you You don't want the good news I finally have mine You ran out of the room And came back with a knife To tie us all down All because you know how You brought us all down All because you know how Is there any good news Left coming from you
I Take On Your Days I take on your days Even when you're away I take on your days And it's hard to be With you and with me And it's hard to be I think of your mother I think of your father And I'm homesick after all I think of the watch he left Underneath his breath You're my favorite one I take on your nights Even when you cry I take on your nights And it's hard to be With you and with me And it's hard to be I think of your mother Think of your father And I'm homesick after all I think of the smile she left Underneath her breath You're my favorite one
Gone The good ones are gone Taken in arms I don't want to know You're gone, you're gone Wrap yourself in it And you drag your feet So willingly But I'm not pleading ghost I let most of him go Go, go Go, go And I can't help you now I pick on myself and how Did you notice your heart Far from its shell You're gone, gone You're gone, gone Wrap yourself in it Wrap yourself in it

Battle Of Evermore (Led Zeppelin cover / Tu Fawning / From The Land And Ice Snow: The Songs Of Led Zeppelin LP) The Queen of Light took her bow And then she turned to go The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom And walked the night alone Dance in the dark of night Sing to the morning light The dark Lord rides in force tonight And time will tell us all Throw down your plow and hoe Rest not to lock your homes Side by side, we wait the might Of the darkest of them all I hear the horses' thunder Down in the valley below I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon Waiting for the eastern glow The apples of the valley hold The seeds of happiness The ground is rich from tender care Repay, do not forget, no, no Dance in the dark of night (no, no) Sing to the morning light (no, no) The apples turn to brown and black The tyrant's face is red Oh war is the common cry Pick up your swords and fly The sky is filled with good and bad That mortals never know Oh well, the night is long The beads of time pass slow Tired eyes on the sunrise Waiting for the eastern glow The pain of war cannot exceed The woe of aftermath The drums will shake the castle wall The ringwraiths ride in black Sing as you raise your bow (ride on) Shoot straighter than before No comfort has the fire at night That lights the face so cold Oh dance in the dark of night Sing to the morning light The magic runes are writ in gold To bring the balance back At last the sun is shining The clouds of blue roll by With flames from the dragon of darkness The sunlight blinds his eyes
Easy To Leave ( With Ben Barnett / Mile: A Hush Compilation LP ) Easy to leave So cheaply I can't breathe Through a mask I can't see past And you're also scared Of being easy to leave Because you're hard to love at length Because you're hard to love at length And you won't say anything To not wear through The tiny holes, the tiny holes You speak through And you're also scared Of being easy to leave Because you're hard to love at length Because you're hard to love at length And you don't say anything (and you don't say anything) To not wear through (you don't even talk) The tiny holes, the tiny holes (the silent, the sidewalk) You speak through (hold you all day) And you won't with that face (and you don't say anything) And you won't with those eyes (and you bother men to talk) Say anything, say anything To match your size And you're also scared Of being easy to leave Because you're hard to love at length Because you're hard to love at length Because you're hard to love at length
Fall Again (Kath Bloom cover / Loving Takes This Course: A Tribute To The Songs of Kath Bloom LP) It's fall again I just can't listen to your call again I think I'm going with the leaves again I'm falling to the ground And horses passed My memory is on a funny track I'm riding but I want you back 'Cause it's fall again And I feel this high We called up Howard, what a funny guy To mow it down and give it one more try 'Cause it's fall again My memory Is going nuts, it's going wild on me I tried to show you, but you never see That it's fall again Fall, fall, fall Moonlight laughters Dream, dream, dream We know what comes after It's fall again I just can't listen to your call again I think I'm going with the leaves again I'm falling to the ground I'm falling to the ground I'm falling to the ground I'm falling to the ground I'm falling to the ground I Luv The Valley OH!

I'm Gone (Tu Fawning / Secession EP) Out in the air You're in there somewhere And the promise is his Lips embrace And the simple taste is his Lips embrace And the simple taste is his Lips embrace And the simple taste is his If I presuppose And I'm still not close Then I know I am near But if there is love Then I know there is fear And I'm gone I'm gone I'm gone Out in the air You're in there somewhere And the promise is his Lips embrace And the simple taste is his Lips embrace And the simple taste is his Lips embrace And the simple taste is his If I presuppose And I'm still not close Then I know I am near But if there is love Then I know there is fear I'm gone I'm gone I'm gone I'm gone I'm gone I'm gone
In Silence, We Reached The Palisades (Tu Fawning / Secession EP) I could lay awake In a grave so dark and deep Just a place to lay my head I've found not to sleep But your song Could never reach me 'Neath all thy death So it's here I will remain Where your voice can be mine
Out Like Bats (Tu Fawning / Secession EP) And the seat that you drag Under feet can be found by You've thrown a blind aside The side isn't the sound you hide The side isn't the sound you hide The side isn't the sound you hide And the last time it came out Like bats from a cave I follow the sounds like Words out in an echo chain Words out in an echo chain Words out in an echo chain In case I see you come and you go In case I feel you fall below In case I see you come and you go In case I feel you fall below The side isn't the sound you hide The side isn't the sound you hide The side isn't the sound you hide The side isn't the sound you hide

Sound You Warn (Tu Fawning / Secession EP) There's no reason to hold What you should let go All this cold air and smoke And I woke up today In the wind and the rain That just kills the reasons to stay And the way I hold you close And there's no fire And the way, this is the waiting For the sound you warn The first you're born the cause And the way I hold you close And there's no fire And the way, this is the waiting For the sound you warn The first you're born the cause
