Singer-songwriter Glenn Thomas, based in Nashville, has provided a highly personal, wide-ranging, and dynamically immediate collection on Inevitables that feels both precise in its making and instinctual in its execution. In the span of eight powerful songs, Glenn embraces spontaneity in crafting these songs, including the vast majority of the instrumentation himself, allowing the music to flow naturally. The result is a rich, layered collection of works that wrestle with the exploration of memory, loss, change, and the passing of time.
The album begins with the a cappella, title track "Inevitables," which contains a sense of emptiness. In the second track, "Gathering My Composure", Thomas quickly elevates the mood with upbeat, indie bounce and the surrealism of an alt-rock piano ballad on "Buses to Nowhere." Thomas transitions to songs like "Miles to Go" and "Looking East," which provide opportunities for lush strings and intricate fingerpicking work. On "Something On My Mind," Thomas offers a poignant commentary on dementia and the gradual yet inevitable erosion of memory.
Thomas' lyrics are constantly self-reflective and provide honest emotional insight without being sentimental. He finishes the album with the Americana-styled "Long Been Lost On Me" and the haunting "Time Bomb," featuring ukulele, and gives listeners a lingering sense of quiet contemplation.
Inevitables was recorded in Thomas's own Old Salt Recording Studio in Nashville, and ultimately showcases Glenn Thomas as a delicate writer unwilling to shy away from life's most personal and universal experiences.
