Denison Witmer w/ Brooke Wagoner and Mark Waldoch

Though he’s not the only indie-folk singer with an affinity for cutesy, crocheted images and lullaby-esque tunes, more so than his peers Philadelphia’s Denison Witmer begs for a Freudian analysis. What is it that so draws adult songwriters to childlike aesthetics? The songs on Witmer’s latest album in particular, Carry The Weight, so closely replicate the patterns of nursery rhymes that it’s easy to imagine them being recorded between naps and milk breaks, as the singer clings to a security blanket and dreams of being back in the womb.
