Ohtis' debut album: a poetic Americana redemption! The beautifully bleak Americana and vivid lyricism of *Curve of Earth* form a fitting introduction to songwriter Sam Swinson's autobiographical journey. The theme of addiction is explored at length through his confessions about his past battles with substance abuse and his religious demons from his upbringing in a fundamentalist evangelical cult. Creative, sometimes brutal, and often alluring, "the songs are spontaneous (...) I like making them that way. These songs have been around for so long, and they weren’t meant to be on a record, but they somehow seemed to follow my life as it unfolded." Haunting and relentlessly honest, the album maintains a powerful grip on the listener long after the final note fades. *Curve of Earth* is a beautiful, shocking, deeply emotional experience, illuminated by Sam's struggles, yet finding hope in the darkest moments.
