It’s far more relaxing and uplifting than the politics podcasts I’d been consuming for the past few months, and if you don’t think that’s high praise, let me finish. This album has been working to draw the poison out of my system. The themes of hope and love have served as a stark contrast to the flood hate and cynicism that I’ve been drowning. The album title–All Is Not Lost–says it all.
