By cave 
I think the universe is trying to tell me nothing, like maybe it’s run out of good things to say
Hawksley Workman continues to surprise with Less Rage More Tears, an album that exudes both nostalgia and innovation. The warm, analog tones of the vinyl version add an extra depth to the music, giving each track a tangible emotional layer.
From the opening notes of Dwindling Light, Workman’s ability to weave melancholy into breezy melodies becomes immediately clear. The organic sound of the vinyl enhances the atmosphere, making the music even more immersive.
Tahiti Treat bursts with energy and retro synth-pop influences. On vinyl, the electronic layers sound richer, and the pulsating bass lines gain extra impact, making it feel as if you’re physically drawn into the music. It’s an experience that goes beyond mere listening.
In contrast, Good Old Fashioned Acid Rain evokes memories of Workman’s earlier works. The melancholic undertones are amplified by the warm, analog feel of the vinyl version—it’s like flipping through an old, faded journal and rediscovering emotions you thought were lost.
What makes this album special is the balance between playfulness and introspection. Workman guides us through a world where childhood memories seamlessly blend with adult reflections. On vinyl, this contrast is even more profound—the analog format adds a tangible dimension that digital versions simply cannot replicate.
Less Rage More Tears continues to unveil its layers with every spin. Workman invites us not just to listen but to feel between the lines and find what we need.
