A creation of powerful sonic transformation. Colorful soundscapes course through the vibrant veins of Getaway Dogs in their expression of nature and our state of belonging within it.
Kai Killion’s voice enters the air through flora filled lungs - resonating with every crevice of our untended roots and prompting them to awaken. The down to earth approach to lyricism is all consuming - surrounded by lush and fecund sounds that flow deeply into the profound textures of this earth. To be closer to the natural world is to fall into the hypnotic exploration of “Lagunas”. A story of deep all encompassing love for the roots we have all grown from - feeding our souls and theirs with warm rich brass and strings that wrap you in the vines of your mother's arms.
A palpable disconnection has permeated the ground we walk so timidly upon - as we feel the earth crumble and disintegrate. Through the creations of Getaway Dogs lies a reminder of belonging in the world - in the arms of nature, of your own and of another's.
“take me to the outskirts
the margins of the moments
i've been disconnected
calm but not collected
down and underground
take me in your arms
so i can belong
take me to lagunas
there i can be myself
there's a river in us
longing for a sea
like a mother's arms
like a mother's arms
where we can belong
looking around at othersstaring down at nothing
they could use a breath
of pine or eucalyptus
redwood love come on
take them in your arms
so they can belong
i cease to trip as i slipslip into her lucid eyes
i cease to think start to sink
sink into what
into what's left of the night
into what's left of the night.”

About The Curator - Maria Fish
You can most often find Maria in her garden humming along to an eclectic playlist titled “Life’s a Garden, Dig It” and of course tending to her beloved plants. This garden is located on the island of Kaua’i at her childhood home surrounded by tropical fruit trees and flowers. Beautiful music has always gone hand in hand with the beauty of the island. Just as she nurtures her plants, she looks forward to nurturing this playlist and the community of music lovers that feel like stopping by and having a listen.
