Efren’s new album is somewhat of a departure from previous releases, mining a rich seam of raw, bruising southern rock inspired by the bitterness a marriage break-up can bring. The second track to be released from Write A New Song is If My Heart Don’t Fail Me and is another excellent example of barrelling bar-room boogie and another hymn to the redemptive powers of hard liquor.

Write A New Song is officially released today. Order it here.
