Sometimes it takes just one play, one single spin, to know you’ve found something to treasure.

So it is with Changing Colors and the track Good Times from their new album Joan & The King, which sees a release via Blank Tape Records. From the opening lazy strum of guitar and gently hypnotic percussion to the perfect, world-weary vocals of frontman Conor Bourgal, the song meanders slowly and surely to its destination over a simple refrain, “I am a mess of a man“. This is haunted, melancholy Americana at its very best.

The album also features some fantastic guests in Jolie Holland, Macon Terry and Mark Anderson from Paper Bird, and Inaiah Lujan and Desirae Garcia of The Haunted Windchimes.
