    Beginners is sweet and sorrowful with a writerly eye. [Sep 2020, p.31]

    Beginners is less rip-it-up statement than subtle realignment; less countrified and polished, more folky and sparse. [Jul 2020, p.80]

With minimal production and a focus on intimacy, each song feels carefully crafted, and deeply thoughtful. Not a single lyric is wasted.

    There is a deep sense of nostalgia on this album that has a very grounding effect. I always listen to it when I need to calm down. It brings me back to earth.
