A Legacy of Rentals
I'm excited and proud to announce that my 5th solo record A Legacy Of Rentals will be released on May 20, 2022 via Positive Jams/Thirty Tigers. A Legacy of Rentals was largely written during 2020, in the shadow of the pandemic and the George Floyd murder that occurred in my hometown of Minneapolis. It was recorded in 2021 with producer Josh Kaufman, engineer D. James Goodwin, and a number of other friends and collaborators. These songs deal a lot with memory: how we remember people that are gone, places that have changed, major events that are part of our past. It's about how memories become the stories that we tell others and ourselves. It’s about the distortion that happens to our own histories when stretched by time and distance. It’s about finding joy in the mundane and engaging in hope in our everyday. You can watch a video trailer for the record here: youtu.be/3YqMngcaZSg I really appreciate you being a part of this. This record is very special to me, and I think a bit different than anything I’ve done before. I’m honored to be here to share A Legacy Of Rentals with you. This is what it looks like. cf Pre-order physical formats of A Legacy of Rentals: orcd.co/alegacyofrentals
On his latest solo collection, the Hold Steady frontman summons vast emotions from different points along the way to rock bottom.
Sometimes it doesn't feel like Craig Finn is really, truly a songwriter, especially outside the confines of his work with the Hold Steady.
The Hold Steady's Craig Finn made a particular effort to keep the music low-key on 'A Legacy of Rentals', while his storytelling abilities continue to shine.
