专辑简介

Ezra Vancil is an American singer/songwriter based in Dallas, Texas. While in the past he has written and recorded in the rock, pop, and experimental genres, a more mature Vancil has now found a sense of permanent belonging and connection within the community of Americana artists. His life experiences shared in song can be serious and contemplative - touching on themes of addiction, depression, and divorce - but Vancil chronicles his escape from darkness with expressions of hope and love of life that are both inspiring and healing. Vancil’s new live EP, recorded in Dallas this January with full band and a congregation of background vocalists, is slated for a Summer 2016 release.

"In this very specific genre in my brain you'll find artists like Emmylou Harris, Daniel Lanois, Julie and Buddy Miller, Lucinda Williams and Steve Earle. What each of these artists share is a rootsy sound that's deeply informed by country but not chained to it, and a lyrical introspection that shies away from easy country tropes like patriotism and the easy condemnation of those who don't like country (no slam on country, since today's rock has its own hackneyed tropes, like how everything is so damn depressing all the time). What you get here is grown up music for grown up people" - John Scalzi, Indie critic
