2024 folk-rock release by singer-songwriter John Moreland

In 2023, during a year-long break from touring, in an attempt to regain his sanity, singer-songwriter John Moreland stopped using a smart phone for six months, and wrote this album. He recorded it in his living room, with help from his wife, Pearl Rachinsky.

"I wanted to make a natural sounding folk-rock record. Simplicity and immediacy felt very important to the process, so I knocked out the tracking in about 10 days, playing every instrument on the album myself, save for one guitar solo (John Calvin Abney — "The More You Say, The Less It Means"), and Pearl contributed some background vocals on one song ("Ain't Much I Can Do About It"). Lyrical themes include digital life vs actual life, a bit of 'What the hell is up with the world?,' and a whole bunch of 'What the hell is wrong with me?'"
