The album marks Folds' first new studio release in eight years, and it's a bold, timely, cinematic work, one that examines the tragic and the absurd in equal measure as it reckons with hope and despair, gratitude and loss, identity, and perspective. The songs are bittersweet, hilarious at times, but often laced with a quiet sense of longing and dread: a text message goes unanswered; an old classmate descends into the dark depths of internet conspiracies; a relationship unravels in the middle of a lake. And yet, taken as a whole, the result is an undeniably joyful record that refuses to succumb to the weight of the world around it, an ecstatic reminder of all the beauty and promise hiding in plain sight for anyone willing (and present enough) to recognize their moments as they arrive. 650 4 $a Alternative Rock. 650 4 $a Singer/Songwriter. 655 4 $a Pop/Rock. 941 $a 2 945 $a cda 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230708011612.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20230404014509.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F606B71AD2B011ED872B743748ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
