Brody Price - Leaf Miner's Daughter [LP]

Comfort with ambiguity, dynamic experimentation and melancholy are rife throughout Brody Price's newest record, Leaf Miner's Daughter. Classic alt-country at it's core, this collection meticulously weaves together Americana into sluggish, heavy grooves; overdriven guitars, hook-laden acoustic dissonance - all bolstered by a songwriter full of heart and intention. An integral member of the Dallas / Texas scene and national DIY touring community, Price has been quietly building a dedicated community of fans across the US since 2017, entirely independent and reliant on each other to build and shape the tours by word of mouth. Following a cassette recorded collection of country songs, 'What's The Point In Trying' (2017), and the gorgeous and chaotic 'Win A Trip To Palm Springs' (2022), Price is tracing a sonic and narrative arc that feels specific, earnest and whimsical - not without it's dark corners and deep questions.The innate ability to find beauty among the rubble is rife throughout his newest, revealing an authentically tender desire to dig deeper to find relief and understanding. He invites us to empathize and sit alongside his turmoil in an effort to make ours more bearable. At home in his musicality and the discomfort of living, Price revels in the act of putting the pieces back together, giving us all permission to do the same.
