Takeoff completes a trilogy of albums for singer-songwriter and War on Drugs associate Brian Christinzio, who records under the name BC Camplight. Like its two predecessors, Takeoff was recorded in the Philly artist's new home of Manchester, England, and it finds him injecting humor into weighty subjects like depression and mourning.
