Toast

Seven tracks of heavy, jazz-tinged blues recorded in 2001 and shelved for decades. A murky, heartbroken document of a relationship in its final, quiet collapse.

It's the record Neil Young thought was too depressing to release for twenty years, and he was right in the best way.

A heavy, humid sadness that feels like a slow-motion collapse of a long-term relationship.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The thirteen-minute slow-burn of Boom Boom Boom where the guitar seems to weep rather than scream.
The sudden, jarring shift into the familiar heavy crunch of Goin' Home that breaks the album's somber spell.
The way the backing vocals on Quit feel like ghosts hovering just behind the main melody.
