The title track was written mid-project. "I wanted to name the album Unfinished Houses because I've now lived in so many of them," says Esther. "My cabin is still pretty rough inside and out, which is common in rural Alaska, actually. I was thinking about it, and it seemed a wonderful metaphor; our very imperfectness is the place from where we shine."

lyrics

In the city of unfinished houses
Candles are chasing their flames
The windows are dusty and frameless
And plywood holds onto its stains

Our eyes become blind to the careless
Untended mistakes everywhere

We live in unfinished houses
Shelfless, trimless and bare
Emptiness echoes around us
You see, fire cannot burn without air
