about

Maine-based lo-fi troubadour Mike Stapleton returns to Aldora Britain Records with Songs To Soothe The Savage Beast, an eleven track set highlighting his rootsy foundations.

Songs To Soothe The Savage Beast is Stapleton at his very best. Over the course of the album, there are tangents towards the blues, towards country, and towards folk. It is a brilliantly balanced album with an impressive depth. Listeners will find relatability in Stapleton's lyrics, delivered in a trademark casual style, and a certain joy in his music. Noir and dark, juxtaposed with charm and warmth.

Key tracks: 'Losing The Blues', 'Hold Your Breath', and 'Don't Drive Me Away'.

For fans of Neil Young, Richard Thompson, Nick Cave, Bob Dylan, and Tom Waits.

I just started listening to all the Pacific Plaza Christmas albums and I am beginning where it all started. I have to say that I really enjoyed this from start to finish. I love the classics but it’s a real fresh breath of air to hear something different like this. It’s too hard to pick just one favorite. Dionysus Virus
