UPC: 607396050130 Label: STROLLING BONES Format: LPRelease Date: June 20, 2025In stock items ship within 48 hoursStupid Soul is either Elijah Johnston’s 4th record or his 7th, depending on who you ask, but possibly the first you’ve heard. The logical next step in a career of slow burns, Stupid Soul is neither a record of morose self-reflection nor a frenetic series of genre experiments, settling into a comfortable steady pace: a record built to fit like a glove. Performed by a small team including Johnston’s brother, manager, and long-time producer, the record is full of small wonders and live band energy, the sound of four close-knit collaborators in pursuit of something timeless. 12-string acoustic guitars, vintage synthesizers, and a relentless belief in the guitar solo round out Johnston’s usual pop rock palate, and the team manages to make a coherent picture out of a mood board that takes just as many cues from Brian Wilson as it does from The Legend of Zelda. But you don’t need a syllabus for this, and you don’t need a reference sheet — you just need the songs. They’ll speak for themselves.TRACK LIST: A1 Leonard A2 Ideas A3 Keep It To Yourself A4 Baby Bands A5 Oxygen A6 I Know What You Did Last Summer A7 Days Like These B8 Instant Replay B9 Everything We Hold Dear B10 Valentine's Day B11 Double Fault B12 Football Season
