It's like listening to a year's worth of someone's most melodic and witty voicemails.

A gentle, persistent curiosity about the world that finds beauty in the smallest daily details.

Bedroom Production+1.1σ

The production is pushed notably harder into bedroom production than this artist usually allows.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The meta-commentary on Postcard #17 where the struggle of the weekly deadline becomes the song itself.
The sudden, warm inclusion of a drum machine on Postcard #29 that briefly elevates the bedroom folk into a danceable daydream.
The finality of Postcard #52 as the year-long project concludes with a weary but satisfied vocal sigh.
