 Music either evokes emotion, that is, it transmits something, or it doesn’t, that’s all.

 Each song fits perfectly into this collage of small simple emotions with a noir flavor.

Tom McRae's self-titled 2000 debut album is a standout example of the New Acoustic Movement with dark, melancholic folk influences reminiscent of Nick Drake. The album relies on sparse guitar or piano with voice and subtle arrangements, creating an emotionally rich and cohesive listening experience. Tracks like 'Untitled' highlight its intense intimacy. Though McRae later shifted toward mainstream music, this debut remains a hidden gem worth rediscovering. Listen to Tom McRae’s haunting debut and explore a timeless acoustic journey today.
