Such a Long Way

fsk For a year now, this album has been a steady companion through the year of covid. Jess Jocoy's stories, and fine-tuned sense for melodies and harmony have given a soundtrack to, and a perspective of the strange times we have lived through. It wasn't her intention, but the album became such for me. It's an astonishing accomplishment, and I can't wait to hear what she will record in the times to come.

about

This record is based on the idea that: we've come such a long way, but there's still such a long way to go.

It's about the journey; the struggle, the joy, the heartache, the relief. There's hope in that journey if you're willing to look for it.

Still Life

I suspect there are awesome Fleetwood Macesque shenanigans at play here, caveat being that the rocky road the album describes is one that led to a marriage, not a break-up. Daniel's adornments are as good as you'd expect, Carson's phrasing is astounding, and though it might take you 20+ listens to realize that every single song is spectacular, persevere, because you will.
