This one has been sitting in the diary for a bit and today seems like the moment to drop it, not least because it’s the sort of album that Democrats and Republicans might just agree on, just don’t tell anyone Lone Mesa’s from Norwich in the UK.
The LP is a walk on the ambient side of Americana, the first half being more recognisably structured acoustic folk musings that would sound great on a wooden porch overlooking some grassy plains. The second half descends into more ambient constructs, but by then everyone will be going with the flow, and maybe even have started talking to each other again.
