Hurry Up and Wait

Soul Asylum

A pensive, acoustic-leaning return to form. Ragged Midwestern rock melodies meet the quiet clarity of starting over in middle age.

Find on Amazon

It's the perfect 'starting over' record for anyone who still loves a good 90s hook but needs a bit more acoustic warmth.

A resilient and melodic meditation on starting over, blending middle-age reflection with a steady, hopeful pulse.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The bright, jangly guitar opening of 'The Beginning' that feels like a literal fresh start.
The vulnerable, stripped-back vocal delivery on 'Dead Letter' that highlights the gravel in Pirner's voice.
The sudden surge of distorted power chords in 'Social Butterfly' that breaks the pensive mood with a flash of old energy.
