Andrew Victor’s new full-length Recovery finds the Pacific Northwest artist inscribing a new chapter in both his personal and creative lives. Coming home to the land of tall pines after seventeen years in New York and New England, the record is also a return to traditional songwriting following a series of ambient releases. A careful attention to negative space imbues the record with a sweet elegance, as Victor’s reverb-less falsetto dances a slow waltz under the late-summer stars. Spare and delicate, Recovery blushes bittersweet as it charts the finding of peace with inevitability of change. It is Victor’s finest work in two decades of recording.
