On his fourth album in as many years, Zach Bryan writes about the cyclicality of heartbreak and love in tender, human portraits.
Thankfully, things are looking up with the release of Zach Bryan’s latest, self-titled effort. Earnest, sincere and deeply thoughtful,is the exact opposite of the corporate and bro country that is actively dominating the Hot 100. Though the impact of Bryan’s fame following the success of “Something In The Orange” has clearly impacted the Oklahoman—as evidenced in his lyrics—it hasn’t really changed his intimate and direct style of songwriting.
Elsewhere, darkness only begets more darkness. On the stunning “Jake’s Piano – Long Island,” Bryan creates a desolate portrait of grief’s aftermath through a collage of old memories and blunt confessionals about excessive drinking and emotional isolation . On the lilting “I Remember Everything,” a duet performed with Kacey Musgraves, we lay witness to a conversation between two increasingly distant partners.
Though Bryan spends his newest LP circling the same, reliable set of themes—love and its limitations, hopelessness and a deep well of resilience, etc.—you don’t emerge from the LP with a sense of linear narrative. Across 16 songs, relationships fail and prosper and then fail again; hope deteriorates and grows, only to deteriorate again. Whatis is a moving portrait of life’s knottiest, in-between moments.
