Tim Yehezkely is great at saying sayonara. The Postmarks' self-titled album is filled with dreamy, string-kissed goodbyes. "I'm skipping town like a stone thrown across the water," she sings on "Goodbye," the opening track. "I cannot stay in the audience," she sighs on "Know Which Way the Wind Blows." She's got a million scenarios for parting, from too-short summer love ("The sand is slipping through the spaces in our hands") to the last dance ("I no longer recognize you / I want to leave this masquerade ball"). She even turns math into a Dear John letter: "Reciprocals became mixed fractions and we divided." Trouble is, it's all so gorgeous — effortless marriages of flute and harp and guitar and pedal steel — you just want Yehezkely and her bandmates to stick around forever.
