Jeremy Squires - Riddle Of Stars (2023)

Lauded as “easily one of folk and Americana music’s most prolific singer-songwriters,” (Americana Highways), JEREMY SQUIRES announces his fourth release via Blackbird Record Label and 12th overall album, RIDDLE OF STARS, due out November 17. Digital pre-saves are available HERE. RIDDLE OF STARS was written, performed, and produced entirely by the singer, songwriter, and musician following the loss of his longtime musical collaborator, drummer and friend, Carlos Ventura. What started out as an electric album transformed into a collection of nine heart-stirring songs, including one that was originally written as a poem as a goodbye for his friend’s funeral (“Blood Pact”). Throughout, SQUIRES uses carefully crafted minimalism, primarily by way of guitar finger-picking, piano, and the occasional pedal steel guitar or organ to create haunting dreamscapes. Listening to his songs, you can easily imagine a camera moving in for revealing close-ups.
