Album Notes & Community Reviews

Dan Bejar's second full-length firmly establishes his highly idiosyncratic, heavily literary approach to indie folk. Utilizing extremely sparse, acoustic guitar-driven arrangements, the record places all focus on his wildly abstract, poetic lyricism and deeply unconventional, theatrical vocal delivery.
