{"product_id":"david-nance-staunch-honey","title":"David Nance - Staunch Honey","description":"\u003cp\u003eNebraska songwriter David Nance returns to Trouble In Mind with his fifth\r\n(proper) studio album \"Staunch Honey\", his follow-up to his acclaimed 2018\r\nalbum \"Peaced and Slightly Pulverized\". Returning to the home-recorded magic\r\nof his early albums, \"Staunch Honey\" was recorded entirely to tape by Nance\r\nhimself at his Omaha home with scattered assistance from his longtime live\r\nbandmates Jim Schroeder \u0026amp; Kevin Donohue.\r\n \"Staunch Honey\" is the culmination of two years of hard work - Nance worked\r\nand reworked the album three times over, recording \u0026amp; rerecording songs until they\r\nsounded just so - a stunning batch of sonic manna that hums with feeling and\r\nmood; expertly crafted, but sounding simultaneously off-the-cuff. Nance dials back\r\nthe squalling feedback \u0026amp; raging guitars found on \"Peaced...\" into something a bit\r\nmellower, like the soundtrack to a late-night drive or late night hangs. Rusted \u0026amp;\r\ndusted with mid-fi, stoney brilliance. \"The Merchandise\" kicks off the album, loping\r\ninto earshot with an off-kilter countrified gait, not unlike a front porch jam session.\r\nThis vibe permeates the album, other tunes like \"Save Me Some Tears\", \"Gentle\r\nTraitor\" \u0026amp; \"When The Covers Come Off\" burn with casual intensity, while rockers like\r\n\"My Love, The Dark and I\" and \"Sell It All Night\" sizzle with a six-string fury. \"Black\r\nMustang\" - the penultimate number - is a real standout, with a subtle banjo\r\nplucking in the background \u0026amp; a palpable yearning and melancholy. Nance's true\r\ngift as a songwriter lies in his ability to craft poetry and personas that feel \"lived-in\".\r\nThere's a world-weariness to his lyrical and musical approach, but rooted in joy,\r\nlove and above all; passion. Many of the tunes on \"Staunch Honey\" feel like classics,\r\nbut that's because in Nance's hands - they are. Not content to let the album go by\r\nwithout the rumble of guitar, \"If The Truth Ever Shows Up\" closes out the album. It's\r\nan instrumental jam with Nance wrangling and riffing on a gut-punching guitar solo\r\nfor 6-plus minutes that feels very much like the end credits to a long-lost midnight\r\nmovie.\r\n \"Staunch Honey\" is released on compact disc, black vinyl (a limited \"Fool's Gold\"\r\ncolor vinyl pressing is available while supplies last) and released digitally via\r\nmost streaming platforms on November 13th, 2021\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vinyl.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46872738037921,"sku":"793420071759","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/7038\/5569\/files\/3858376-2602919.jpg?v=1786563711","url":"https:\/\/store.consequence.net\/products\/david-nance-staunch-honey","provider":"Consequence Merch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
