Claude says:González's third album arrived seven years after In Our Nature, his first record of all originals — no covers to lean on this time. Critics called out his confidence and the bittersweet philosophical depth in these songs, though some found the low-key fingerpicking a little too consistent across ten tracks. You picked it up right at release in 2015, came back hard in summer 2018 (your heaviest month with it), then let it go — "Afterglow" and "The Forest" were the keepers.
