Where Archers of Loaf had attitude and guitar-driven intensity, Eric Bachmann has vulnerability, led by piano, rich vocal harmonies, and Bachmann's hard-won liberty to lay himself bare. "There is less of an externalized character to be responsible to," says Bachmann, referring to the sardonic smart-ass who narrated the Archers' music, or the gossiping storyteller at the helm of Crooked Fingers. "When I think about why I am compelled to put my own name on a thing as a proper title now, all of these various perspectives feel unnecessary." Even in their exhilarating beauty, the nine original tracks on Eric Bachmann are direct challenges-to social injustice, to precarious love, and frequently to Southern hypocrisy. Recorded in Asheville, NC, and mixed in Taiwan by Athens, GA, expat engineer Andy Baker, Eric Bachmann features musicians including Jeremy Wheatley, Matthew Nelson, Jon Rauhouse, Tracey Wolf, Samara Waller, Wade Rittenberry, and Liz Durrett, who wrote the track "Carolina." "My wandering lifestyle has presented only one nugget of clarity in my life: that places do not offer a sense of home for me. People do," says Bachmann of the ideas that guide him in this new era of his career.
