Rhett Miller – The Misfit (CD)
Product Details
Rhett Miller has always written from the margins, a Texas punk kid who fell in love with Gram Parsons and never fully resolved that tension, which is exactly what's made him one of alt-country's most compelling voices since the Old 97's broke through in the mid-90s. "The Misfit" finds him leaning into that restlessness rather than resolving it, the kind of solo detour that reveals what the band format can't always hold.
The latest full-length from Old 97’s frontman Rhett Miller, ‘The Misfit’, exists in an enchanted dimension all its own. With its elegant blurring of psychedelia, dream-pop & electronic-leaning indie-rock, the Texas-bred singer-songwriter’s 9th solo effort emerged from a charmed collaboration with Hudson Valley neighbor Sam Cohen (Danger Mouse, Kevin Morby). Miller grounds each track with the vulnerable songwriting and unaffected vocal presence he’s brought to the Old 97’s for the last 3 decades.
