Yeah I think it could be pretty dope. We'll see how things work out. I'm on board all the way. I'm really stoked about The Cold Blue to come out though because the tracks I'm making are definitely a bit different but still hold a lot of the same style that I tend to go for. So far, it's an exciting album for sure. A lot more going on in the tracks than I've done previously. Not sure when I'll be done with it but I'm 6 tracks in so who knows.

I can’t wait to review it on Freak Fighter!

Thoughts?

It reminds me Ryan Adams Heartbreaker (that’s a huge compliment). Usually, I’m partial to the stripped down sound which the album has a lot of but I also love the big production in The Joke. The pairing of the stripped down base with the orchestration reminds me of Stardust by Willie Nelson (which I consider the gold standard). Stardust doesn’t have any songs that build into a big dramatic crescendo like that but the way that the orchestra is used is similar to my mind.

I’d need more listens to really know but yeah I enjoyed it.

alright this is enough to get me on board. queued.

Yeah I heard mixed reviews on the production since it's often maximalist, but I personally enjoy it. Definitely comes off like a classic rock / country crossover hit from the late 70's with all the strings, and I mean that in the best possible way. Every song is innately sing-able, even if I can't ever hit those glorious high notes.

I'm glad you enjoyed it so much. I'm still loving it regularly.

:love: Tell us what you think about it!

I listened to her S/T debut today and was like meh

I haven't heard it. I was introduced to I Forgive You by a friend.
