Mario Chavez This is a solid album from beginning to end. Great songs every one of them. Many are country folk ballads with a touch of melancholy. Favorite track: Tried My Best.

elkeb I loved Megafaun's "The Longest Day" so listened to more music by them, only to realize that it was Christy Smith's vocals that I loved. I looked her up and found The Tender Fruit and am loving it. Smith's voice has a beautiful longing to it, and her accompaniment, with its minor notes, evokes those threads of loss sewn through everything. Favorite track: Long Lived.

about

"The Darkness Comes" is Christy Smith's second album as The Tender Fruit. At times mournful, at times hopeful - it attempts to unravel our tangled notions of home: what is it, where is it, who is it, and how do we know when we've arrived?
