Classic album!

This album feels like such a deeply personal journey that Jason Martin takes the listener on and from the first note of "All my friends who play guitar" plays, I just relax and feel like I'm home. The overarching theme of Leave Here a Stranger is what I'd call intricate simplicity and I marvel at Martin's personal soundscape everytime I listen.

But to me, a room full of that minority would be....exactly that.
