Album Notes & Community Reviews

The final solo album from the former Pearls Before Swine frontman before his decades-long retirement from the music industry is a delicate, deeply introspective masterclass in progressive acoustic folk. The lush, subtle arrangements avoid the overt psychedelia of his earlier work, perfectly framing his distinctively lisping, highly poetic vocal delivery. It serves as a beautiful, melancholic swan song to a deeply influential underground career.
