PEASANT - FEAR NOT DISTANT LOVERPeasant's second album is self-produced and modest. Brimming with carefully written, intimate, and truthful acoustic ballads, it shold keep you happy while you skip, drive, or fly to wherever it is you are going.
(16 tracks, 38 minutes, copyright 2005)

READ ALL ABOUT IT...
(regarding Joanna, track 5) "A song with the quietest handclaps I've ever heard, but they're enough to pull me in. It's a song where everything rests upon the modest hummability of the chorus, just how sincere the sincere singer sings. "Joanna / forever. / You'll be / remembered." It's earnest almost to the point of caricature. "You'll never be a sad song." No it's earnest to the point of caricature. But what counts is not the silliness. What counts is whether I believe it, and want to hear it again. And I do. A song to snuggle into."

"...the album is "polished and poured over" as Peasant is as concerned with the production aspect of his music as with its message. The melodies are unique yet familiar and strategically woven into unfolding verses combining the sheen of a professional approach to recording and arranging with something basic and raw."
