King Tuff takes a left turn from his garage roots into a pastoral psych-folk blend that sweeps and glides in perfect hues, capturing something we have lost… Louder Than War
Thomas describes Smalltown Stardust as “an album about love and nature and youth” in a statement, continuing: The truth is I never really wanted to leave my little town in Vermont.
