Jordie Lane is coming home after an extended American stay to celebrate the release of his forthcoming second album, Blood Thinner. Jordie will travel all around the country following its July 15 release.
Blood Thinner sees Jordie showing off a more stripped back sound, with back to basics recordings captured in motel rooms, basements, and garages. In such simple surrounds you’ve often got to improvise, which is why we hear Jordie playing kitchen utensils, wine glasses, and a fan-powered harmonium he found for $10 on the side of the road. The record melds gospel, folk, bluegrass, and more to create something that’s completely unique and very special.
