2014 solo release from the singer/songwriter best known for his work with the Mirrors and the Gris Gris. Greg Ashley is no stranger to recording. If his group output wasn't enough, Ashley has peppered multiple solo albums in between all of these releases tracing along a path that veers to and fro from heady Psychedelic freakouts to sensitive, folky tune-smithing. This is a bold step off that acid-soaked artery, the nine tunes herein are Ashley's most directly poetic suite of songs both melodically and lyrically. Recorded in 2013 with a cadre of Jazz musicians, the malleability of his players belies dizzying results, allowing Ashley to focus on communicating the feeling of the tunes in addition to playing them. Lyrically, Ashley has never been one to mince words, but the songs are almost joyously direct.
