The new album from Robert Earl Thomas, expansive but calm indie-rock with some big shoegaze-infleunced sweeping guitars

There are a million songs dressed in white t-shirts and American denim, songs that drift through open spaces in some busted sedan, over lost highways that become tributaries to eventual static, crawling traffic and stifling density.

There are a million more songs about being wild and green in the cities and outside them: a song about love for every person on this earth. Another Age , the debut album from Robert Earl Thomas, avoids inhabiting these clichés even as it embraces their personal influence: this is an album about small moments with big emotional footprints, told humbly and honestly.
