Candy From a Stranger

Soul Asylum

Polished late-90s alternative rock that trades punk grit for cinematic atmosphere. A record of restless nights, big choruses, and Midwestern melancholy.

It's the perfect record for when you're feeling a little bit lonely but still want the guitars turned up.

A polished, late-night reflection on restlessness and the passage of time.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive transition from the acoustic intro to the full-band roar on the opening track.
The way the guitar solo in Blood Into Wine seems to fray at the edges before resolving.
The sudden, stark silence that punctuates the bridge of New York Blackout.
