A low, woody hum of fretless bass drifts through these late-night songs, settling beneath a voice that has grown deeper, darker, and more weathered with the years. You are placed in a quiet room smelling of damp oil paint and rain, listening to acoustic chords that ring out with a cold, metallic ache. It is a stark, observant record that offers no easy comfort, only the steady, hypnotic pulse of someone watching a troubled world from a high window.
