Jason Isbell – Foxes In The Snow

i was really impressed by how beautiful this pressing looks and sounds. absolutely not crackles or pops and the audio is crystal clear, which is a MUST with such a stripped and acoustic album. so glad to own this!

It can be deceptively difficult to mix stripped-down music like this in a way that feels like it fills the soundstage yet sounds natural. One technique used for that is employing delay and placing that elsewhere on the soundstage, and I will say, there's one or two instances where that sounds a bit too heavy-handed and jarring for me. But otherwise the mix is pretty solid—and having listened to the digital version of this album several times before the vinyl arrived, I'd say this pressing is a solid representation of the record. No surface noise, nice and clear and as dynamic as the mix allows.

Another great pressing of this album. I also have the Port Merch variant, and this sounds very similar if not perhaps a touch better. Nice color, flat, quiet, excellent sound.
