Colin Rooney

"Colin Rooney" is a warm, introspective indie folk album recorded throughout 2021 and is full of heartfelt songwriting and understated rough-around-the-edges charm. The songs explore love, resilience, and letting go, all delivered with sincerity and a personal touch. Acoustic guitars, gentle vocals, and subtle layers like strings and pedal steel create a rich but unpretentious sound as he tries to figure out how to first write a song and then learn how to record it. It balances sweetness and melancholy without ever feeling forced (hopefully...). If you like honest, well-crafted songs that quietly stick with you, this is worth a listen.
