T. Hardy Morris releases his fifth solo album, Artificial Tears, with a full album stream available a day early. The album follows 2021's The Digital Age of Rome and features heartland rock soundscapes. Morris describes the recording as more of a casual session than a formal album production, with the material naturally evolving. Notable tracks include 'Write It In The Sky,' which conveys youthful hope, 'I Guess' focusing on overcoming creative blocks, and 'Juvenile Years,' offering a specific reflection on life in Athens, Ga. The album launches on 8/8 through Normaltown Records.
Artificial Tears wound up feeling a lot more like a casual recording session than 'making an album.' Once we found our stride on Carl's four-track, it just came so easy.
The hopefulness (and possibly the naivete) of youth frames 'Write It In The Sky,' illustrating the struggle to make the world better while acknowledging the challenges.
Writing 'I Guess' reflects on the creative process, expressing how creating often alleviates feelings of uninspiration, proving that action can foster motivation.
'Juvenile Years' is a song that resonates with specifics of life in Athens, capturing the essence of that particular time and place.
