American Heartbreak

Two hours of unpolished, whiskey-soaked Americana. A sprawling triple album that captures the restless, heartbroken spirit of small-town American youth.

May 20, 2022 · Warner Records

A restless and sprawling collection of stories that balances small-town pride with deep, unvarnished loneliness.

Moments Worth Listening For

The haunting harmonica swell that opens Something in the Orange, setting a tone of desperate isolation.

The transition from sparse acoustic picking to a full heartland rock gallop on Heavy Eyes.

The raw, cracking vulnerability in his voice during the final verse of She's Alright.
