Helplessness Blues — 2011

More ambitious and searching than the debut, rich with harmony and questioning lyrics. Expansive and lovely. A folk high point. Holds up as a strong record in its own right, not just context.

On vinyl: A vinyl-revival-era release, so fresh pressings are usually easy to find new.
