Mike Frazier’s eighth album explores the mystique of winter. A season that brings a heavy darkness that pushes us both inward and away. Frazier’s seven song album is set with the backdrop of the cloudy bridges in Astoria, Oregon but the fog extends to places we have all visited. Frazier is inspired by the folk singers and production styles of the 1970s. The album embodies the songwriting prowess of the likes of Gordon Lightfoot and Neil Young. The dance between honest narrative storytelling and the twelve string guitar creates a jangle of truthfulness. The songs carry the listener through loss, companionship, and a hope for humanity. The unique mist of a Pacific Northwest winter provides Frazier the introspection of storytelling the lives happening within the warmly lit windows of the moody coast and how those souls will work to figure out this journey together when they inevitably all step outside. Frazier’s storytelling leads us through another season that is both his and all of ours. The album is produced by Mike Frazier and engineered by Nevada Sowle at The Rope Room in Astoria, OR. The tracks are mixed by Lacey Brown and mastered by Danny Gibney. The musicians featured on the album are Dean Shaked on bass, Olaf Ydstie on drums, Luke Ydstie on piano and guitar, Kattie Kuffle on cello, Owen Thayer on pedal steel, and Chandra Johnson on fiddle.
