Face the World, the latest from Brandon Jenner, is pure Americana: the acoustic guitar, brushes on the snare, piano, and double bass; all feel warm, and resonant, and alive in the room with you. Vocally, there is a certain purity of expression to this song: the message feels gently crafted, as ‘a [song] for those who are willing to have their emotions brought to the surface, ready to walk through them and begin to let them go.’
It’s a process, you might say; instead of running from ourselves in crisis, we teach ourselves to pass through the current emotion in order to achieve a higher state - over and over again. And sometimes, you have to walk away so that you can come back again.
