River Crombie‘s current album, Light Trails, has been my soundtrack for the beginning of Autumn the last couple of weeks. Painted in shadows and warm light, resonant and soulful in an understated way, both of River Crombie’s albums are deserving of wider attention.

I’ve never heard of River Crombie, but the album cover (and your description) have me intrigued!
Check out his music, it’s really good!
