A dusty, acoustic meditation on moral survival. Sparse arrangements and hushed vocals tell stories of soldiers, migrants, and the ghosts of the American West.

Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring, high-register falsetto that breaks the tension in the title track's chorus.
The gruesome, poetic detail of the river journey in Matamoros Banks where the music feels as heavy as the water.
The stark, cinematic silence between the guitar strums on The Hitter that emphasizes the narrator's exhaustion.
