Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stepping away from his foundational role in The Clean, the influential guitarist released his first full-length solo endeavor. 'Here Come the Cars' maintains the shimmering guitar tones synonymous with his local scene while emphasizing introspective, gently crafted songwriting. The record highlights a relaxed, bittersweet maturity that diverges from his earlier, frenetic output.
