His first album, a long favorite of my wife's, I've long wondered why Bryan isn't a household name outside the PNW. With this album I wonder even more. As much as I enjoyed his earlier work, this record from beginning to end is a masterpiece, a sonic sculpture the like of which you've never heard. Daresay my favorite album of the at least the past 5 years. Each time I put this on (numerous times in the past month) I can't help but sit and finish it. the highest praise I can give to a record. eyewanders
