Eric Bachmann- No Recover

Label: Merge

Released 9/7/18

Eric Bachmann returns with No Recover, an album that is both harrowing and beautiful. While No Recover is decidedly mellow and reflective, do not mistake it for the work of a relaxed, satisfied songwriter; the Eric Bachmann of 2018 seems to view life with a sort of disgruntled maturity and righteous resignation. The album is mostly just him, a classical guitar, some treated rhythm tracks, and otherworldly drop-ins from singer Avery Leigh Draut and guitarist Eric Johnson, Bachmann's old pal from their Archers of Loaf days.
