Claude says:Dermot Kennedy's Sonder lands somewhere between widescreen indie-folk and synth-warmed alternative pop—all luminous production and searching vocals that feel built for both headphone late nights and festival fields. You've cycled through Kiss Me and One Life repeatedly since summer, the kind of songs that stick because they're both earnest and expertly crafted, and Sonder as a whole has that quality of a record that rewards patience more than immediate impact.
