    Probably Rostam’s most compact and thematically cohesive project, with almost all of the nine tracks on the 30-minute album leaning toward folk and Americana. After the explosive energy of the first two tracks, things calm way down.

    American Stories is just nine songs, but pretty much every centimeter is garlanded with grabby bits of sonic filigree. Yet this isn’t just a talented producer flexing his studio muscles for the sake of it.

    A record of reflection and connection, it’s one that, at its best, ranks among the more beautiful-sounding you might hear this year
