Thomas, Fred
Aftering
Something mystical opened up for Fred Thomas in the fall of 2013, when the prolific songwriter moved from his already emotionally open style into an unprecedentedly direct and vulnerable lyrical approach as well as new levels of detail-fixated production. The results of that creatively eruptive time began with 2015s critically hailed album All Are Saved, continued into the turbulent pop of 2017s Changer and now float into Aftering, a record that feels like the final chapter of an unofficial trilogy.
