Released quietly but with a long afterlife, Limelight plays like the kind of album listeners discover rather than are told about. It’s not built for singles or flash — it’s built for people who replay records at night, headphones on, catching lines they missed the first time. The production keeps the palette spare and intentional, allowing the songs to unfold at their own pace. Guest vocals from Amy Helm and Teddy Thompson add texture that deepens the record’s sense of intimacy. Patient, exacting, and unusually confident for a debut, Limelight feels less like a first statement and more like a record that earns its audience one listener at a time.

The jacket opens like a small book, with every lyric printed inside — an invitation to slow down, read along, and disappear into the music.
