Primarily known for his solo career, with nine albums that showcase his knack for intimate, acoustic-based indie folk, Votolato started out playing in louder bands, like Waxwing, who gained an underground cult following in the mid-2000s Pacific Northwest punk and hardcore scene. Sonically, Suzzallo taps into that same spirit: blistering guitars, soaring choruses, and poignant impactful lyrics, but with a volume and fervent intensity that far surpasses any of Votolato’s previous work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eDescribing the songwriting process Votolato says, “This kind of personal tragedy rearranges everything about you as a human and artist.

Votolato’s longtime friend Ben Gibbard of Death Cab For Cutie and The Postal Service is even featured on several songs, lending his signature vocals to beautifully placed harmonies, along with performing electric guitar, bass 6, and piano.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRESSING INFORMATION:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-rte-list=\"default\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eEXCLUSIVE ONE TIME ONLY PRESSING OF THIS ALBUM (Limited to 100 copies)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eDigital Download code included\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACK LISTING:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e01.
