Joyner, Simon "Tough Love" 2xLP

• For fans of: Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, Jason Molina, Kevin Morby, long-form folk-rock.

Joyner's acoustic songwriting remains central, but also highlights electric guitars, minimal grooves, experimental edges, and ghostly atmospheres. The album closes with a 20-minute title track that turns guilt and grief into something stark, narrative, and searching.
