Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded by Steve Albini, 'Over the Sun' is a raw, powerful, and deeply cathartic album from the acclaimed singer-songwriter. The record masterfully balances moments of fragile, slowcore-esque beauty with explosive bursts of noisy, dissonant art-rock and post-hardcore. It's a somber, angry, and unflinchingly honest exploration of grief and loss from a truly singular artist.
