Racine
Liner notes
A midwestern folk song echoing the shores of Lake Michigan and the mouth of the Root River in Racine. The lyrics tell tales of Danish immigrants baking Kringle and the towering cantilevered architecture of the SC Johnson Research Tower. Acoustic guitars strum a rhythm as steady as the waves hitting Reefpoint Marina.
