Description
Release Date Friday 15th May 2026
All pre-orders will be dispatched/made ready for collection on that day.
Long celebrated as one of America's most inventive DIY singer-songwriters,
Shakey Graves (born Alejandro Rose-Garcia) has built a singular career on
experimentation and emotional honesty
Fondness, etc. feels like a window into his most personal world yet - and a full creative
reset - placing emphasis on lo-fi sound and analog warmth, packed with soft vocals,
haunted guitars, experimental textures, and tender imperfections.
Shakey Graves' songs explore trying to do better and holding onto fleeting beauty in a
chaotic world. The title is a twist on "absence makes the heart grow fonder," delivered
with classic Shakey self- effacing charm - capturing moments of life, love, and
fatherhood with striking vulnerability and sonic exploration. An album built purely for
joy, reminding us that the quietest moments often hold the most profound beauty.
Tracks: Don't Change A Thing / When the Love Is New / Time Flies / Suddenly /
Away It Goes / The Boilermaker / I Once Was an Ocean / On My Own / No Place to Be
