[edit] Production and style
Forged in the crucible of heartbreak and longing, "Soft Hail" is Craigie's most intimate and personal album yet. Originally conceived of as a "lullaby" coda to his previous record "A Picnic on the 405," "Soft Hail" evolved in the studio into something much, much more. With The Accidental Poets and a host of talented guest players on hand for the recording, Craigie & Co. found a renewed focus on crafting sonic moods and atmospheres to match the emotional heft of each song. The result is a thematically and aurally uniform collection of songs that chronicle the bittersweet life of a traveling folk singer with stark and compelling honesty.
