Erick dunlap I really love the album and was pleasantly surprised by the mix on the B side.

Souppe An absolutely brilliant album. Charming and moving yet light and relaxing. I often find myself going back to this album for peace and calm. A true masterpiece. Favorite track: How Much One Can Bear.

about

"Why does Devin Champlin so badly want to be emptied? To ditch his brain and keep his head?
The man who can kickflip an over-easy without breaking the yolk. The guy who puts a fiddle in his elbow and a guitar on his chin. The dude that can catch and release a whale from a park bench. The one that stares off places. Emptied? Yes, emptied. But only to be fulfilled anew. You see, that's the Champlin way. Willing, and wanting, to change. To turn your outsides to your insides and be filled with something else. Marbles. Smoke. And someone like that never gets bored. Someone like that remains filled with a wonder most of us lost with our baby teeth. Someone like that...is the Champ.
Devin Champlin never actually tells us how to change from blue to green on his new album, How to Change From Blue to Green. But there's a suggestion on this new collection of songs (earthly folk songs, spacey instrumentals and bedroom rock and roll) that the turning, the change, starts from the inside and works its way out. Like a teardrop. And with a teardrop, comes pain, and with it comes joy. Until it's all just one big lake of tears. And people are swimming in it like fish, and fish are swimming in it like people. And everyone's got their own name for the same beach. Glass beach. Cornwall beach. That beach that used to have the Horizon Lines boat. And time goes by and you see the boat is gone and you're not the person you used to be. And that's a good thing. And everyone you ever knew is different too. And you've got new favorite things about them. And everyone just keeps crying and crying so the rocks can stay skipping. Doing their best, wearing a smile."
