Bella Union release E.B. The Younger's (Eric Pulido from Midakede) solo album, To Each His Own, which contains 11 songs (48 min, 42 sec).

This release is a deeply personal record rooted in Pulido’s love of warm, glowing rock, folk and country hues that came of age in the 1970s woven with contemporary recalibrations: guitars ripple, sigh and sizzle alongside gliding keyboards over crisp, choppy and becalmed rhythms. Pulido’s lyrics explore the choices he’s made, and where they have taken him.

It's a laid back indie offering that grows on you the more times you listen to it. I have to admit on the first play through I enjoyed but didn't think it was one I'd be too keen to listen to too often. But the more times I played it, the more I enjoyed it. Whether it's one I'll still be listening to months from now remains to be seen. But, for an album for the hear and now, this is a lovingly crafted collection of songs.
