Lead singer of Thrice Dustin Kensrue's debut solo album may not be what you expect if you've heard the the former band's music. Here, we find Dustin with nary any screams, crunching guitar riffs or aerobatic musicianship; most of the time its simply him and his acoustic guitar, backed up by a bare bones rhythm section. We also see Dustin blatantly delve into Christianity here, with lyrics that are almost hymn-like in some tracks. That being said, this album is a fantastic collection of songs. From the driving rhythm of the starting track "I Knew You Before," to the re-telling of the prodigal son story in the title track, to the triumphant closer "Blanket of Ghosts," this album is short, but ever so sweet. Give me a listen and tell me what you think!
