"Quiet Morning Hours," the lush opening instrumental track to Justin Cross's new album To The Light, gives the cinematic visual of a man stepping out on a new journey.
As a songwriter who usually plans out the approach to his work beforehand, Cross took a spontaneous night of demoing nine incredibly personal songs about grief and loss with a vintage cassette recorder and created an album fully vulnerable and relatable to listeners.
Indulging his self-professed "gear nerd" sensibilities, he blended digital and analog recording techniques and expanded his sonic palate of layered acoustic guitar and soulful vocals to include swaths of haunting synths and cassette-tape flutters. Whether you've been a fan for years or you've just become aware, To The Light is sure to captivate and move you.
