Album Notes & Community Reviews

Written while Jason Pierce was hospitalized with a near-fatal illness, 'Songs in A&E' is a fragile, beautiful collection of gospel-tinged ballads. The album deals directly with mortality, addiction, and recovery. It is a touching return to form for the space-rock pioneer.
