Prepare to feel better. This is "countrygaze" - music that inhabits the middle ground between indie rock and hazy, introspective country. For Nick Beaudoing, the front man of Nashville, Tennessee’s Runner of the Woods, 2014 was spent in the shadow of a serious family illness. His mother was in a coma in his hometown of Dallas, Texas, and her condition was dire enough to require him to leave his wife and child behind for weeks at a time. Long days at the hospital gave way to quiet evenings with his father and siblings. Between visits to Texas, he would return to Nashville and stay busy in the studio, where he occupied his mind with a recording project he had begun months earlier. One night while listening to rough mixes of the track “Good Things Will Come”, he had a gut feeling that things would somehow work out. “I’ve never had the experience of listening to my own music and being cheered up,” Beaudoing says. “It felt like a pat on the back at just the right time.”
Condition:NEW.
