Heart Shaped Rocks shares simple honesty along with clear and cleansing disentanglements. The album unfolds like photography, hipsteresque in sepia, and unveils the wisdom of autonomous interdependence. Its tender brilliance deftly dissolves any faint specters of blame or resentment. Ben’s adept multi-textured voice smoothly segues from an edging cathartic semi-serrated growl to a self-forgiving deep warm comforting lullaby croon. Revealed is an emotionally intelligent awakening soul.
