“It’s just friendship and solitude all mixed together”

Henry Jamison released Big Flower Light Go Boom yesterday. It’s a balm for what ails. From his Instagram:

Big Flower Light Go Boom, my fourth record, is out today. It’s been a long time coming and my life has changed quite a lot since I wrote it, but I stand behind it more than ever somehow. I said “big flower light go boom” when I saw fireworks for the first time and it’s that same response to the beauty and terror of the world that makes me keep writing songs. Other than that, it isn’t “about” anything. It isn’t a “project” and there’s no overarching concept. It’s just friendship and solitude all mixed together. It’s just…seeking.
