Đĩa LP Reconciler – Art for Our Sake

• DESCRIPTION

This record is a journey. I’m weary of calling it a “concept album” because that label seems distracting – but it is one. I’d rather just think of it as a journey. This narrative is winding and non-linear. Like The Red-Headed Stranger, it ends back where it starts, but with some new words and sounds. Hopefully, a new perspective and a few bigger questions come around along the way as well. Some of these songs lash out at the red team and some lash out at the blue team, but they all mourn those exploited most by a broken system. Mostly, these songs are personal. They are about making mistakes constantly while navigating a complicated world and trying to do so with a little grace. They are about growth, change and greater aspirations. They are about trying to protect and cultivate a creative spirit in one hand while selling pieces of it off to survive with the other. Ultimately, these songs are about searching for a better lens – one that can reveal brighter light and greener grass right here, right now instead of over there, up around the bend, tomorrow, or yesterday.
