A beautifully weathered blend of Irish vocal phrasing and dusty midwestern Americana, recorded in Minneapolis with weeping violins and warm Hammond organ.

A warm, homesick longing wrapped in dusty, late-night acoustic intimacy.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the weeping violin on 'Oscar Wilde' wraps around Ben Kyle's fragile, raspy vocal delivery, heightening the literary melancholy.
The transition into 'Belfast' where the geographic longing of the lyrics is mirrored by a slow, swelling Hammond B3 organ arrangement.
The quiet, skeletal acoustic guitar opening of 'Vacant Light' that gradually builds into a warm, tape-saturated instrumental glow.
