Claude says:Damien Rice's 2002 debut is all fingerpicked acoustic melancholy and whispered confessions — the kind of record that arrived in the early 2000s and made everyone think they understood heartbreak better than they did. You've been rotating it steadily since 2006, hitting "Cannonball" and "The Blower's Daughter" hardest, those songs that sound like they're being sung directly into your ear at 3am.
