At first one may want to say the songs are simple and straightforward as an Americana song seems. But the complex layers of Depew’s music subtly unfold. The lyrics are often haunting and longing, guided by the mastery of instruments. The beauty and hardship of life weave together in each piece. I really enjoyed listening on a poetic level, the writing, and story that carries the song, combined with the pleasure of the music itself.
