Release Notes:
"Few, if any, artists in local music write for resonance the way Jeremy Larson
does. From soaring choruses to lush, multilayered instrumentationûall played by
Larson himselfûto lyrical content, every song comes across as a scrapbook page
from a man keenly aware of lifeÆs impermanence. LarsonÆs first album, Jeremy
Larson, expressed the wistful side of that awareness more often than not. With
Salvation Club, Larson has retained every trademark of his writing and
performance style while creating a work of broader emotional range.
Larson wastes no time displaying the difference; the albumÆs opening track,
ôExposition,ö might rank among the most upbeat he has ever committed to record.
ôWintersongö follows in lockstep, if not musically so much as in lyrical
content, finding joy and personal redemption in love. The undeniably catchy
piano-and-drums bounce of ôFootstepsö will have listeners bobbing their heads
and tapping their feet. Even LarsonÆs voice sounds more at peace at times,
comfortable in its own skin if a bit weathered by life at times, as we find in
songs such as ôImmovable.ö
One recurring theme of Salvation Club is that of religionûHeaven and Hell, God
and the Devil and, by extension, good and bad. Even more thematically prevalent,
however, is the inevitable passage of time. At 27, Larson has the ability to
reflect on life with an intimate detail and sepia-toned reverence that still
escapes many men twice his age or more. In LarsonÆs songs, nothing remains as it
is in this moment or in moments before, and life is never easy but is usually
worth the difficulty. A life well-lived is often only appreciated upon
reflection, and that appreciation comes through in every meticulously composed,
delicately crafted and resonant song." - thederosh
