Despite feeling disillusioned, drained, and disconnected after an intense year of touring, Brooklyn–based recording artist Jesse Marchant, a.k.a. JBM, felt an insatiable need quietly gestating. After a much needed break, he relocated to a remote cabin in the Catskills and started the long process of writing and recording Stray Ashes, his followup to 2010's Not Even in July. Like a twilight journey through canyons, with noctilucent clouds on the horizon, Stray Ashes flows with refined grace and raw force.
