Full Circle Nightmare

2018 release, the second album from the singer/songwriter. Ever since his debut album Dolls of Highland was released on Sub Pop in 2016, Kyle Craft has been a critic's dream. Based in Portland, he serves up all the observational, storytelling talent with none of the attitude that so often comes with male singer-songwriter territory. I've found my place, he says. I'm not one of those people that approaches music for anyone other than myself. My favorite part about music is when it's just me and a notebook. Full Circle Nightmare is entirely autobiographical. Sonically, thematically, lyrically, it's a huge leap forward from his 2016 release. The title Full Circle Nightmare refers to a moment where Craft saw his life for what it is and told himself to be satisfied. But that's nightmarish to me, he laughs.
