From the Chris Staples album AMERICAN SOFT, out 8.12.14 via Barsuk Records. If albums are friends, then American Soft by Chris Staples was my closest friend in 2014. No other record set off the emotional feelings in me like this one did. Staples originally put it out himself in 2012, but fortunately Barsuk Records picked it up this year, remastered it and gave it a proper release. These are the kinds of songs and reflections that make you feel nothing but gratitude for every precious moment of your miraculous little life. Just a perfectly composed album of remarkable beauty.
