Here's a pretty, wistful new tune by Spider (a.k.a. Jane Herships). "I'll go in your Boat" is much more buoyant than the sparse folk of Spider's previous releases, with an almost retro pop style to the arrangement. The song will be included on Spider's upcoming album, The Home Record. I'll go in your boat by [...]
