I Love People

Description

Like a gentle spring breeze after a winter that has gone on too long, Cory Hanson returns with I Love People, an album with the feel of an existential and luminous road trip. True to the team that had already accompanied him on Vertigo (the members of Wand), he delivers here a record with lush production, somewhere between 70s folk and orchestral pop, where carefully crafted arrangements meet lyrics steeped in absurdity, nostalgia, and gentle irony. Less disillusioned than Pale Horse Rider, less provocative than Western Cum, I Love People ventures into the troubled lands of a damaged America, yet one still crossed by bursts of beauty. We encounter drifting characters, fantasies of freedom, slippery truths, always handled with humor, tenderness, and a touch of melancholy. Cory observes the human comedy from a distance, like an author of absurd fiction, but always driven by a sincere love of music and people. With I Love People, he delivers a record that finds brilliance even in confusion, a bittersweet ode to the art of living without a map, where certainties are lost and music remains a joyful compass.
