Today's review is by a guest writer Tyler Swartzentruber, my longtime friend.
Twelve years ago, Aaron Sprinkle and I travelled halfway around the world together. Mind you, I definitely got the better end of the bargain. For 18,000 km, I flew economy while Aaron managed to cram himself into my Panasonic personal CD player with 10 second Anti-Skip Protection and Dynamic Bass Boost. Twenty-plus hours of cruising at altitude is a long time to think, especially when you’re 20 years old and leaving everything that has ever been familiar in order to reunite with the girl of your dreams. From Indianapolis to Minneapolis, Tokyo, Singapore and finally Perth, Aaron serenaded me with ten songs he’d strung together and titled Bareface. Twelve years ago, I jumped headlong into a cross-continental relationship that would eventually result in marriage and three children. Bareface is the soundtrack to my leap.
