North Dakota troubadour Tom Brosseau’s seventh album, Grass Punks, draws upon themes of loyalty, betrayal, perseverance, and empty dreams. Five years in the making, Grass Punks harkens back to early albums and is a simpler take on indie rock. With twelve years of solo studio releases under his belt, Brosseau has become a veteran who continues to make masterfully crafted work with little flourishes of guitar that flash of brilliance. Favorites include: the charmingly melodic “I Love To Play Guitar”; “Tami” a sweet, loving song about a first kiss; and the gorgeous, contemplative first single, “Cradle Your Device.” – Written by JFelton
