Album Notes & Community Reviews

Ending a nearly three-decade hiatus from recording, the former Pearls Before Swine frontman returned with this profoundly introspective, critically acclaimed solo effort. The remarkably intimate, highly poetic acoustic songs retain the psychedelic folk fragility of his early work, heavily supported by subtle, atmospheric modern production.
