Acoustic guitar, pedal steel, lonesome horns and fiddle wrap around these brief sketches of runners and restless figures moving through landscapes both psychic and geographic. Here are highway hymns of people who sense what must be done but seldom find the conviction to do it, sliding slowly downhill in search of a temporary resting point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTodd’s writing favors a kind of shrugging candor: jokes and idioms used as vessels for some bleaker truth. The world these songs inhabit is often stark, though not without romance—a place where insight comes easily while resolve remains elusive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAngle of Repose is less like a collection of songs than a stretch of road, punctuated by a sequence of vacant roadside motels offering short-sighted salvation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlaine Todd is a songwriter and musician based in the San Francisco Bay Area. His work draws from country, folk, and experimental music traditions. In addition to his solo work, he has performed with Night Collectors, Real Life Rock And Roll Band, the Andrew Weathers Ensemble, Common Eider, King Eider, and Ecstatic Music Band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zXeyocNBdSc?si=-lFW0aqWERPljlHa\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Nudie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44894015848490,"sku":"BLAINE TODD - Angle Of Repose LP","price":55.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1273\/6111\/files\/blainetodd-angleofrepose.jpg?v=1790080764","url":"https:\/\/www.strangeworldrecords.com.au\/products\/blaine-todd-angle-of-repose-lp","provider":"Strangeworld Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
