Post-War

A dusty, tape-saturated collection of folk songs that feel like a long-lost radio broadcast. Warm, raspy, and deeply nostalgic.

Find on Amazon

It sounds like a campfire story being told through a 1940s radio.

A warm, dusty nostalgia that feels like finding an old photograph of a place you've never been.

Moments Worth Waiting For
the transition in 'Chinese Translation' where the philosophical questioning gives way to a jaunty, almost ragtime guitar bounce
the way Jim James' high-lonesome harmony enters during 'Magic Trick' like a ghost in the room
the Roy Orbison-inspired swell of strings and longing on 'Today’s Undertaking'
