Shakey Graves – Fondness Etc. (2-LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Alejandro Rose-Garcia has always done things his own way, from busking with a suitcase kick drum to building a devoted following show by show across Texas and beyond. *Fondness Etc.* arrives as the rare record that sounds like it was made with the door closed and no one watching, the kind of intimate work that only comes after an artist has earned the freedom to stop performing for anyone but himself.
Long celebrated as one of America's most inventive DIY singer-songwriters, Shakey Graves (born Alejandro Rose-Garcia) has built a singular career on experimentation and emotional honesty. Fondness, etc. Feels like a window into his most personal world yet - and a full creative reset - placing emphasis on lo-fi sound and analog warmth, packed with soft vocals, haunted guitars, experimental textures, and tender imperfections. His songs explore trying to do better and holding onto fleeting beauty in a chaotic world. The title is a twist on "absence makes the heart grow fonder," delivered with classic Shakey self-effacing charm - capturing moments of life, love, and fatherhood with striking vulnerability and sonic exploration. An album built purely for joy, reminding us that the quietest moments often hold the most profound beauty.
