I'd heard Trip Wamsley a long time before this album came out, but this was the point where he went from being someone I liked listening to and hanging out with at trade shows, to someone whose music I was a BIG fan of, and influenced by, and listened to a lot.
It's gorgeous, and it's 'pay what you want' on Bandcamp, so have a listen below, then click the 'download' button, type in some random 2-digit figure and listen to it a lot. It's lovely lovely music.
