Album Notes & Community Reviews
Utilizing a warm, vintage production style, the singer-songwriter reflects on the mood of an America embroiled in overseas conflict. The album features a backing band that helps flesh out his typically sparse, finger-picked guitar arrangements into lush chamber pop. It serves as a gentle, melancholic meditation on recovery and nostalgia.
