Why Does The Earth Give Us People To Love? [Violet Vinyl] (LP)
Kara Jackson
Amoeba Review
Why Does the Earth Give Us People to Love? is the debut album from Kara Jackson, named National Youth Poet Laureate in 2019. The lyrics are ultra relatable, as rooted in love and compassion as they are in confusion about the nature of existence and what we’ve all signed up for as members of society. Jackson’s compositions take elements from indie, blues, and even some twangy Hawaiian-sounding guitar to create a sound that’s completely unique and utterly compelling. Why Does the Earth Give Us People to Love? is meditative, moving, and meandering, mirroring the way thoughts float through our heads and we float through (or sink in) the currents of life.
