Review:
Chris Porterfield (previously in Bon Iver) sophomore album. Collaborators include drummer Shane Leonard and multi-instrumentalist Ben Lester, along with The Weather Station’s Tamara Lindeman. Through the wandering folk/pop that can feature drum machine and synth-heavy slow burners, Porterfield manages to keep his voice rough, with a subtle twang and earthy warmth (consequenceofsound). Eloquent lyrics and detail to song construction is a highlight.
