S.J. Armstrong’s third album, “Over Here Over There,” takes listeners on a deep dive into a rich and haunting sound. Recorded in a small cabin in northern Washington State, this album shows a big change from his previous work, especially his last album, “Clothed by the Dark.” Armstrong creates thick vocal harmonies and complex layers of sound that pull you into a mysterious world filled with emotional depth. The lyrics often feel surreal and confusing, adding to the album’s intriguing atmosphere.
What makes this album special is that Armstrong did everything himself. He not only wrote and arranged the music but also played most of the instruments and handled all the production tasks like audio engineering and mixing. This complete control over the creative process gives “Over Here Over There” a strong sense of unity and showcases his growth as an artist. Overall, the album invites listeners to explore a unique and captivating musical journey.
