Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking a slight sonic departure from the hushed, bedroom-recorded intimacy of Sam Beam's earliest work, this collection integrates a slightly broader array of warm, traditional instrumentation. The six tracks are conceptually linked, focusing lyrically on deeply poetic, spiritually tinged, female-centric narratives. The title track perfectly encapsulates the gorgeous, pastoral Americana that came to define his mid-career peak.
