RUSTON KELLY 'PALE, THROUGH THE WINDOW' LP on Victoria Vinyl

• Single pocket jacket + inner sleeve

Across the 13 songs on Pale, Through the Window, Kelly moves from the somber rumination of the title track to the rueful longing of “Twisted Root,” an intimate look at his history with addiction, and on to love songs like “Waiting to Love You” and “Wayside,” a euphoric but unvarnished portrait of love against the backdrop of a world in flames.

Sharing such an all-embracing account of his journey to acceptance and peace, he hopes to give others the courage to persevere through their own personal chaos. “If someone’s struggling with doubt or hopelessness because of the state of the world or their relationship with God or with themselves, I hope this record leaves them with the sense that it can be okay and that love truly is the most powerful force we have available to us,” says Kelly. “I also hope they feel at least a sliver of the freedom and joy I felt in writing these songs—even if they’re just having a good time bobbing their head to ‘Waiting to Love You,’ I want everyone to be reminded that the world can be a joyful place.”
