Album Notes & Community Reviews

Centering on the raspy, emotive vocals of Josiah Leming, this record continues the group's transition into a more skeletal, folk-focused project. The recording emphasizes unpolished acoustic instruments and intimate vocal takes that highlight the artist's background in the American busking tradition. The songs explore the mundane beauty of rural living and the emotional clarity that comes with accepting one's circumstances 'as is'.
