ABOUT THIS ITEM

"Get Lonely" is the quiet, haunted aftermath of last years "The Sunset Tree". It's a reflective, intimate record; the mood is one of bittersweet resignation rather than cathartic release. These recordings are warmly collaborative affairs, with Darnielle and his long-term collaborators Peter Hughes and Franklin Bruno forming an ensemble captured playing live in the studio - the songs murmur with surefooted confidence, the product of intuitive, respectful mutual exploration. There's an endless array of gently inspirational flourishes - the radiant piano chords of "New Monster Avenue", the rippling vibraphones and soaring guitar lines of "Half Dead", the perfect pizzicato cello in "Woke Up New" and the cross-hatched brass and Hammond of "If You See Light".
