A tireless member of the New Haven scene (playing in Headroom and Center, releasing a slew of records under his own name, and operating the always quality C/Site Recordingss), Stefan Christensen returned in 2024 with what is in my opinion his best record yet. Drawing upon his crew of local players (featuring fellow Headroom and Center players alongside members of Mountain Movers and Kath Bloom’s backing group), Christensen’s record is replete with melancholic and contemplative songs built on meditative and droning riffs. One that reminds me of Alistair Galbraith or the Jefferies brothers covering Neil Young.
