Old Jerusalem

**Old Jerusalem** is the solo project of Portland-based musician Seth Goodman, crafting atmospheric indie folk that feels like wandering through misty Pacific Northwest forests. Since emerging in the late 2000s, Goodman has blended fingerpicked guitar, haunting vocals, and ambient textures into songs that evoke both intimacy and vastness. Tracks like "Certain Rivers" and "Youth and Grandeur" showcase his knack for pairing poetic, nature-inspired lyrics with quietly expansive arrangements, while collaborations like "High High Up that Hill" (featuring experimental artist Peter Broderick) highlight his openness to unexpected sonic partnerships. With a DIY ethos and a penchant for themes of memory and spirituality, Old Jerusalem’s music feels like a whispered conversation between solitude and the sublime.
