So Runs the World Away

Today is a happy day. Josh Ritter and the Royal City Band (now fully named!), my absolute favorite band, released their new album So Runs the World Away today.

As per usual, it is fantastic. One listen in, my favorite song appears to be Southern Pacifica, but I find that often times deeper meanings and appreciations open up upon repeated listenings. If you like your lyrics with meaning and layers, and your music to accentuate and enhance, you’ll want to check out Josh Ritter and the Royal City Band. You’ll find that each of their albums are unique, and this one is no different. (P.S. to the Pittsburgh folks: they are playing at Diesel on May 18).

It seems So Runs the World Away is getting rave reviews from others besides me. You can stream the entire album, at least for now, at NPR’s website.

It doesn’t hurt that this was the backdrop to my first listen to the album, but I assure you that you’ll appreciate Josh’s music any where in the world.
