American Soft

• Track Listing

2014 vinyl LP pressing. There are no casual Chris Staples fans. The man inspires devotion. The turnaround from casual listener to evangelist is nearly instantaneous. Play his music during a road trip with friends and inevitably someone will ask, "Who is this?" And a lifelong fan is born. Such is the unaffected power of these songs, of this voice. Chris Staples fandom is rewarding and lasting (despite his understated approach to promoting his own work, which - as it should be with all artists - seems secondary to the effort he puts into the making of it). We follow where he leads, and our numbers are growing.
