“Recorded in early 2023 with help both in-studio and remotely from peers like CATHERINEIRWIN (Freakwater), JOAN SHELLEY, WILL LAWRENCE (Felice Brothers, John Early),JENNY ROSE (Giving Up), and CHRISTOPHER MAY (Mail the Horse), Davis draws backup perhaps primarily from his tight-knit drinking buddies-cum-cast of collaborators in EQUIPMENTPOINTED ANKH (records on Astral Editions, Bruit Direct Disques among others) - a fiveheaded hive-mind from which he drew impetus for his own foray into more abstract and improvisational terrain these past few years under the ROADHOUSE alias. The results herein are melancholic, gentle, minimal yet colourful in mood: a lilting highway accompaniment of crisp instrumentation and a relaxed, amiable approach to vocals with rhapsodic wordsmithery. Fansof the aforementioned artists as well as those of Souled American, David Berman, Kurt Vileand ‘Comes A Time'-era Neil should all easily find bounty.
