Claude says:Josh Ritter's folk storytelling hits different when the songs are built on quiet conviction rather than spectacle—this one feels like catching him mid-thought, where even the title track's darkness has room to breathe. You spun through the whole thing in less than an hour one September afternoon and let it settle; those restless, introspective tracks like "Kudzu Vines" and "Truth Is A Dimension" have the kind of patient melodic pull that rewards a second listen before you even know you need one.
