Album Notes & Community Reviews
The Texas-based acoustic guitar virtuoso delivers a masterful, highly cinematic exploration of American Primitivism. Avoiding vocals entirely, the record focuses on deeply intricate acoustic fingerpicking layered with subtle synthesizer washes, perfectly evoking the vast, sunbaked melancholy of the desolate American Southwest.
