Elijah Johnston - Stupid Soul [SIGNED CD]

THIS ITEM IS FOR PRE-ORDER AND WILL SHIP ON OR AFTER JUNE 20, 2025 SIGNED Wallet Stupid Soul is either Elijah Johnston’s 4th record or his 7th, depending on who you ask, but possibly the first you’ve heard. The logical next step in a career of slow burns, Stupid Soul is neither a record of morose self-reflection nor a frenetic series of genre experiments, settling into a comfortable steady pace: a record built to fit like a glove. Performed by a small team including Johnston’s brother, manager, and long-time producer, the record is full of small wonders and live band energy, the sound of four close-knit collaborators in pursuit of something timeless. 12-string acoustic guitars, vintage synthesizers, and a relentless belief in the guitar solo round out Johnston’s usual pop rock palate, and the team manages to make a coherent picture out of a mood board that takes just as many cues from Brian Wilson as it does from The Legend of Zelda. But you don’t need a syllabus for this, and you don’t need a reference sheet — you just need the songs. They’ll speak for themselves. Stupid Soul is set for release on June 20, 2025 via Strolling Bones Records. TRACKLIST: 1. Leonard 2. Ideas 3. Keep it to Yourself 4. Baby Bands 5. Oxygen 6. I Know What You Did Last Summer 7.
