ABOUT THE ARTIST:
There is a voice you hear across the plains, with an accent that you can’t mistake… it seems every generation and a half delivers us a honey-tongued, six-foot Holy Boy troubadour, flaxen hair blown of its country dust by a dry desert westbound. That crisp tenor, on either side street-worn and dew-laden? Was it Gram Parsons’ in ‘72, Evan Dando’s in ‘95? If so, then it’s Eric Schroeder’s right here at the end of ‘23.
I’m stoned at one A.M., my face dripping onto my shirt sitting on a tile countertop in an old farmhouse in Morrill, Maine. “Feeling fried in the ebbing tide”, he sings from a bluetooth speaker from the opening track to ‘21’s The Crucifixion of Eric Schroeder, describing myself to me, untethered through the cosmic æther of time and tide. Everything is pouring in, it’s all in California, it’s all a sea, I swim out of it, the land of my misspent youth, and honey and milk and sunshine all day, spoiling figs on the sidewalk.
