Album Notes & Community Reviews

The critically acclaimed debut from the highly enigmatic Californian songwriter perfectly introduces his distinctively wandering, softly crooned vocal style. The album is incredibly calm and deeply melancholic, blending traditional contemporary folk instrumentation with subtle psychedelic flourishes and an understated, dry sense of humor.
