    Anna & Elizabeth’s 'The Invisible Comes to Us' taps into their imagination-fueled arsenal to present an extraordinary work of unique, genre-bending storytelling and sonic exploration. Lauded by many well-known musicians and widely loved for their moving minimalist arrangements, Anna & Elizabeth’s partnership pioneers new ways of presenting old songs and stories to modern audiences. Co-producer Benjamin Lazar Davis (Cuddle Magic) and legendary avant-rock drummer Jim White (The Dirty Three, Xylouris White) assist in the duo’s vision of breathing life and new perspective into the crackling and disintegrating recordings and artifacts of the past. Rarely does an album based on traditional folk music resonate so strongly in modern times.

      I don't come across music this compelling that often. No, this was the first time but not the last.

      Madre en el camposanto y estoy en fuga - busca para mi
      Madre en el camposanto y estoy en fuga
      Y quiero pecho de dios para ser mi almohada
      Me esconde en los épocas de piedras - busca para mi
      Trepando a escalera de Jacob - busca para mi
      Trepando a escalera de Jacob
      Y quiero pecho de dios para ser mi almohada
      Me esconde en los épocas de piedras - busca para mi
      Ver hermano Peter cuando lleuges a el reino - busca para mi
      Ver hermano Peter cuando lleuges a el reino
      Y quiero pecho de dios para ser mi almohada
      Me esconde en los épocas de piedras - busca para mi
      Monta ese cuadriga a mi puerta - busca para mi
      Monta ese cuadriga a mi puerta
      Y quiero pecho de dios para ser mi almohada
      Me esconde en los épocas de piedras - busca para mi
      Madre en el camposanto y estoy en fuga - busca para mi
      Madre en el camposanto y estoy en fuga
      Y quiero pecho de dios para ser mi almohada
      Me esconde en los épocas de piedras - busca para mi

    Mother in the graveyard and I'm on the land
    Look for me
    Mother in the graveyard and I'm on the land
    And I want God's bosom to be my pillow
    Hide me over in the rocks of ages
    Look for me
    I am climbing Jacob's ladder
    Look for me
    I am a-climbing Jacob's ladder
    And I want God's bosom to be my pillow
    Hide me over in the rocks of ages
    Look for me
    See Brother Peter when you get to the kingdom
    Look for me
    See Brother Peter when you get to the kingdom
    And I want God's bosom to be my pillow
    Hide me over in the rocks of ages
    Look for me
    Drive that chariot to my door
    Look for me
    Drive that chariot to my door
    And I want God's bosom to be my pillow
    Hide me over in the rocks of ages
    Look for me
    Mother in the graveyard and I'm on the land
    Look for me
    Mother in the graveyard and I'm on the land
    And I want God's bosom to be my pillow
    Hide me over in the rocks of ages
    Look for me
