The Cost of Living is the first full-length album in over three years by Seattle cult musician, Jason Webley. Blending Eastern European folk and rock influences with his punk roots and acclaimed poetic sensibility, Webley and long-time collaborators Jherek Bischoff, L. Alex Guy and Michael McQuilken have teamed up to record his strongest and darkest disc to date. “CD of the Month... filled with nuggets of musical and lyrical epiphany.” -West Coast Performer Magazine “Happy-sad in a load of good ways... Go and listen to it.” -Neil Gaiman “One of Seattle’s most talented musicians, a singer-songwriter with a rare gift for crafting timeless songs that approach Waits and Leonard Cohen territory.” -The Seattle Times
