Jonathan
Vassar & The Speckled Bird's second full length release on Triple Stamp Records, The Sky and Country, presents a collection of songs as if a series of landscape paintings. Elemental themes recur throughout as Vassar interweaves visionary details of natural processes and narratives steeped in the same mysticism found at the heart of their first release: "Signs and Wonders."
Joshua Quarles again produces the album, resulting in rich music that creates a dark sound setting for Vassar's lyrics to flourish within. Orchestration is key, as the musicians conduct a lasting masterpiece of both gravity and pathos.
