The Flood

Fifteen tracks of skeletal folk recorded on a four-track in a basement. Sparse, percussive, and intensely intimate, like a secret shared in the dead of winter.

It sounds like he's sitting right next to you in a cold room, just him and a guitar.

A stark, solitary meditation that feels like a cold wind blowing through an empty house.

Moments Worth Waiting For
the percussive slap of the guitar strings on 'Dakota' that mimics a heartbeat
the way the vocal on 'January' sounds like it's being whispered directly into your ear
the sudden, jarring brevity of 'So Many Ways to Die' cutting to silence
the fragile piano melody that anchors the closing track 'Method to My Madness'
