Appreciation Skin by Richard String (2025)
FULL ALBUM STREAM BELOW
These songs came together in my head over the course of a few very challenging years. Honestly, I was running from music when they started showing up, but I guess I needed something positive to focus on. They always seem to do that and I’m grateful.
The actual recording process was one of exploration, impulse and relearning. Having new songs to work on provided me with an opportunity to rewire not only the way I build records, but also the way I manage my time and the stress I experience while executing the work. Learning to give music a fair portion of my life (instead of the lion’s share of my existence) has been an extremely healthy shift in the way I interact with it after such a long adventure in creativity. I once found comfort in making these, and I now feel comfortable doing it again. I’m grateful for that, as well.
We sincerely appreciate you listening.
Be kind to one another out there <3
