Abby Posner - Second Chances - VINYL LP

An award-winning singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, film composer, producer, and solo artist, Abby Posner is a multi-tasker at heart. She shines a light on the full spread of her creative abilities with Second Chances, an album that uses modern American roots music as a springboard for a bigger, bolder sound. Influenced by everything from punk/rock to electronic music, Second Chances is every bit as diverse as the artist who made it. Inspired by a life-changing breakup and the introspective soul-searching that followed, the album deals with themes like resilience, patience, acceptance, self-awareness, and rebuilding. Posner calls it Incha queer love story,Inch but she clarifies that Second Chances is more about self-love than the affection we receive from others. InchI wrote the songs about my own journey,Inch she explains. InchIt's less about the one who got away, and more about discovering there's something better awaiting you. That's why I called it Second Chances. I'm getting into the second act of my life, chasing down something new.Inch Something new, indeed. Second Chances carves out it's own genre-fluid identity, funneling Posner's influences into a sound that's entirely her own. InchQuiet on SunsetInch begins as an acoustic folk ballad before moving into electronic territory. InchIf You Wanna LoveInch bridges the gap between Posner's punk/rock past and Americana present. InchDarkest HoursInch-one of three songs to feature contributions from a full band-is a late-night soul song punctuated by bluesy fretwork. The indie-pop textures of InchWe've Come So FarInch nod to modern influences like Phoebe Bridgers, while the hushed vocal harmonies in InchMoving Back to DenverInch evoke Elliot Smith's iconic bedroom recordings. Like Smith, Posner recorded the bulk of Second Chances at home, playing all of the instruments herself while pulling triple-duty as songw
