This is a release best listened to at night. In the solitude of your home or driving around late after dark, alt-country band Freight’s sophomore album provides powerful introspection.
If 2022’s Hard Worker was the Mars rover sent to explore the band’s talent, it reported back with proof of life. Old Bones is a crewed spaceship, an expedition of all things intrinsically human: loneliness, heartbreak, and the urge to stare at the sky for something bigger.
“Is it any wonder such a shallow grave cannot contain? Old bones are restless”, frontman JP Payton sings in the title track. In the Cosmic American tradition of looking beyond the grave and past the atmosphere, Freight have mastered an art form of transcendental country.
