Accents Release New Album For Name-Your-Price Download

Indie folk act Accents has released their latest full length, Tall Tales, as a by-donation digital download through Deep Elm Records.  Lead vocalist TJ Foster explains what fans can expect:

“The whole idea behind Tall Tales is looking at the stories we are told as children, and reconciling them with where we end up as adults. When we’re kids, we have the entire world in front of us. And these stories give us hope. But our life trajectories often don’t align with those imaginary places we dreamt of as children. Our paths may change based on the experiences we have and the people we meet. Although our destinations don’t always match what we hoped for as kids, we shouldn’t cherish them any less…”

Guitarist Jordan Stewart adds:

“To me, this album is not about growing up. It is an album about being ‘grown-up’ and looking back on all of our triumphs and mistakes. It’s an album about being at peace with who you are, not wishing you were someone else. What TJ captures so well in his lyrics is that while our destinations are not always what we hoped, it does not make them any less worthwhile… the trick is figuring out how to balance the lessons we learned as kids with the ones the world itself teaches us. Because when chasing your dreams becomes impossibly difficult or that sense of childlike hopefulness all but disappears, there’s still plenty worth finding beauty in. Lyrically, Tall Tales comes from a place of reflection, not anger or resentment. We hope people take a message of positivity from these songs. We all have stories to tell. We all have experiences to share. And they shape us into who we are today. Often times reality is more beautiful than fiction.”
