Ready the Astronaut LP

William Fitzsimmons' "Ready the Astronaut" on clear vinyl feels like settling into a familiar armchair, where each track offers up emotional truths like a collection of letters from a long-lost friend. It's as if Simon & Garfunkel decided to write a soundtrack for the daily grind, threading melodies that linger like the aftertaste of strong coffee. The included bonus CD teases out deeper layers, revealing songs you didn't even know were missing, as if finding forgotten notes tucked between pages. This album is not just a listen; it's a gentle companion that nods to both the light and the darkness in life.
