Building a Beginning

A warm, analog embrace of 1970s soul. Stripping away the glitch for pure, paternal songwriting and lush, live-band arrangements.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the gospel-tinged backing vocals swell during the title track's final chorus.
The intimate, dry drum sound on 'Julian' that feels like the kit is in the room.
The delicate piano melody on 'Motionless' that anchors the album's most vulnerable vocal performance.
