The focus stays strictly on the narrative strength of the compositions, utilizing a stripped-back production style. This project reflects the artist's roots in the downtown scene while demonstrating his capacity to adapt his perspective.
Raw and uncompromising, the lyrics provide an honest look at a changing city. By keeping the arrangements simple, the music forces the listener to engage fully with the stories provided, resulting in a project that remains grounded in classic rock sensibilities.
