Hello Starling
“Reissue of this Idaho singer/songwriter's recent third album offers ultra-trad folk-rock arrangements and simple, straightforward delivery.”
Fever Breaks
“On Fever Breaks, Josh Ritter sounds better than ever”
Fever Breaks
“The singer-songwriter's latest addresses the sorry state of America as he reshuffles his sound enough to keep moving forward.”
So Runs the World Away
“"Black hole," sings Josh Ritter, "are your eyes as empty as they look?" Not the best come-on, perhaps. But roughly a decade after topping a new school of singer-songwriters, Ritter hit a creative wall, and his latest is the sound of him kicking through it. The above is from "Rattling Locks," maybe his gnarliest song […]”
The Beast In Its Tracks
“The Idaho singer-songwriter's last two albums were less about himself and more about America and all its weird history. The Beast in Its Tracks, however, chronicles Ritter's split from his wife in 2010, observed with a cool distance and scaled-back arrangements.”
The Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter
“Latest record from the beloved, wordy singer-songwriter is more rambunctiously immediate than any of its predecessors while retaining its smart arrangements, but it's still a mostly love/hate affair.”
Wavelength is the Letterboxd for music.
