New Josh Ritter

Josh Ritter's new album, The Beast in Its Tracks, is now streaming on NPR Music. The album was written after his divorce. Says NPR:

The Beast in Its Tracks mostly hovers in a fascinating spot, where Ritter's emotional timeline is concerned: Even in the album's darkest moments, he's more bruised than wounded, yearning to compartmentalize and preserve the happy memories that remain, and recovered enough to delight in fresh romantic encounters. He's a man trying on newfound wisdom and finding that it doesn't always fit, but he lands in a meaningful place: processing a breakup as the necessary catalyst for a new reality in which everyone has a shot at happiness.

 NPR will stream him live in concert on March 4th.
