Adam Haworth Stephens

Artist- Adam Haworth Stephens
Album- We Live on Cliffs
Label- Saddle Creek
Genre- Folk rock


Adam Haworth Stephens of Two Gallants takes a moment to refine his folk rock sound. The record reminds me of Nik Freitas’s solo work (who was also featured in Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band). However, it is a little softer. An organ and an accordion are heavily featured, giving his songs a fun sound. The record starts off with a bang and tapers off slowly into a lighter, beach pop feel like on “Angelina”. For the most part, you might hear these soothing songs in a coffee shop. Still, it is a pretty good album!
