I Love People

Description

Like a gentle spring breeze after too long a winter, Cory Hanson returns with *I Love People*, an album that feels like an existential and luminous road trip. True to the team that accompanied him on *Vertigo* (the members of Wand), he delivers a record with lavish production, blending 70s folk and orchestral pop, where meticulous arrangements sit alongside lyrics imbued with 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 broken America, yet still touched by surges of beauty. We encounter drifting characters, fantasies of freedom, slippery truths, always treated with humor, tenderness, and a touch of melancholy. Cory observes, from a distance, the human comedy with the detachment of an author of absurd fictions, 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 where music remains a joyful compass.
