Album Notes & Community Reviews

Bolstered by subtle, full-band instrumentation provided heavily by The Posies' Ken Stringfellow, the Seattle songwriter crafts remarkably bleak, masterfully told vignettes. The beautifully subdued acoustic arrangements elevate his poignant, devastatingly honest character studies of working-class struggle and romantic dissolution.
