Lou Barlow - Reason To LiveAfter decades on the road and the never ending hustle of life as an artist, Lou Barlow has tapped into a new confidence in the chaos. In 2021, the concept of balance feels particularly intimidating. Now more than ever, its clear life isnt just leveling out a pair of responsibilities. Instead, were chasing after a flock of different ideals with a butterfly net. On Barlows new solo album, Reason to Live, he has come to an understanding of that swirl

sparkling production and orchestrations that occasionally border on easy listening

Lulling them into involuntary movement with its waves of melodic harmonies

Nation of Ulysses - Plays Pretty For Baby on Dischord

renewing them with the complex

standard edition on crystal clear vinyl

grappling with the unease of the self at rest – without movement

autumnal backing from longtime collaborators Jenny Adejayan (cello)

Anderson Paak

traversing tales of dreamers

from the first strains of the heavy-lidded guitar instrumental “Theory Rest

"Let The Good Times Roll" and "Lonely Lonely Nights")

Format: LP
