Countless Branches is about as heart-wrenching, yet beautiful as a recording gets. It's the first time I've heard of or have listened to Bill Fay, so I have absolutely no point of reference, but I can't wait to dig into the rest of his catalog. He's obviously a master at tying chords together and layering them with satisfying melodies while adornging the melodies with incredibly deep lyrics.
Love the melodies. Love the instrumentation. Love the production. Love the simplicity. Love his voice. Love the message. Love the cohesiveness of the entire album's sound while he maintains a unique approach to composing each track. Love that I've only just scratched the surface.
