Fantastically sombre.

Rating: 9/10 Best songs: Delicate, Volcano, The blower’s daughter, Cannonball, Cheers darlin’, Eskimo

Well played! I only remembered "Cannonball" from the radio when it was released, but the album as a whole is excellent.

Love it. It is a bit depressing but really wonderful.

The Blower’s Daughter has always been a favorite of mine. Something special here. The album is really nice….can make you feel a bit quiet, maybe depressed. But, i really liked listening to it.

This was really nice. Mellow and haunting. 4 stars.

Soothing music

Well that was nice 5 4

Not too bad. A bit boring? But not unpleasant. Same kinda vibe as Tina Dico. But a guy. 3/5.

A classic I've loved ever since I heard Delicate on an episode of Lost in 2004. I revisit this every few years.

Fantastic. Really loved it.

I remember taking this record home from the library, and ripping it to my iTunes to grow my music horde. Never actually listened to it, funny enough. It's beautiful. Sparse, but the vocals and instruments are chosen well. I like the woman singing and feel like she should get more credit for her appearances (her name is Lisa Hannigan, for what it's worth). It's an album I feel like I could give another spin to very shortly after finishing it. Favorite tracks: "Cannonball", "Delicate"

Irish AF. Loved these songs when i was at my most maudlin and affected, still love them now. Especially since im listening on an overcast day

Wow! Very nice album! Thanks for the recommendation

Good songs, well put together. Superior “folk”.

Gave me Travis Wall memories from Season 2 of So You Think You Can Dance. Very nice.

It was lovely.

I have never quite meshed with the vibe of this guy, though on paper the music mostly checks my boxes. I didn't dislike this at all but it never really grabbed me.

A decent modern folk album that is a bit more somber. Overall it’s a well made album that has strong lyricism, and nice smooth guitar work. Rice has a very calming and emotional singing voice that really highlights the highs and lows of the lyricism of the songs. This was pretty nice. 6.7/10

Really lovely, melancholy music with expressive vocals. It loses me a little on the back half, and that extended final track was wholly unnecessary. Still, I enjoyed this quite a bit. Fave Songs: Cannonball, Volcano, The Blower's Daughter, Delicate, Older Chests

3 secret tracks on a 21-min track... You're losing stars, bro...

This guy sounds a lot like a lot of Jason Mraz. Nice singer songwriter stuff.

I thought it was music for a low mood, which can be fine for 2 or 3 songs that calm you down or endure the sadness, but a 50-minute album was too much for me.

Modern folk leaves me cold.

Another singer-songwriter effort that feels so much like the others. My listening habits focus pretty squarely on the instrumentals for a given LP, and while great lyrics can elevate a track to new heights, this album (and genre as a whole) treads so much of the same ground again and again. Give me an interesting chord progression, a wild timbre, something I’ve never heard before - just please don’t sing the same song about love and loss over the same thin guitar chords over and over again.

nice, type of music you forget you are listening to while listening to it 2.3

Going into the user submitted albums feels weird. I feel a need to be nicer as these albums probably hold a significant place in at least one person's heart. That said, I really disliked this album. At best it reminded me a little bit of Ryan Adams; at worst it was tedious, very sad sack which I generally don't like listening to these days, and I couldn't wait for it to be over. I debated a 1 but it did have some half decent moments to get it a 2. I just feel like I need some Prozac now.
