SANTIAGO

Russ

A stark, introspective pivot toward acoustic textures and radical self-honesty. Russ strips away the bravado for a quiet, dusty, and deeply personal journey.

It's like a therapy session with an acoustic guitar and a drum machine.

A heavy, honest inventory of the soul that finds beauty in the process of breaking down.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the sparse acoustic strumming of See You Soon into the rhythmic pulse of Smooth
The raw vocal delivery on I Love You Boy where the rasp feels particularly strained and honest
The five minute slow burn of The Wind closing the album with a sense of hard won peace
