While the songs on Take it on Our Shoulders were conceived using an acoustic guitar, a voice and a pen and paper, the arrangements range from acoustic-based to noisey, fuzzed-guitar-driven textures, the latter likely a byproduct of Hoffman’s time collaborating with Strange Americans cohort Trent Nelson.
Take it on Our Shoulders is communicated through a hardened, simple, somewhat tired voice that explores and processes difficult-but-pertinent themes; ideas such as wealth and materialism and how they relate to meaningfulness, American socio-cultural conditioning and interaction, what it may have been like in America’s past generations to have blue-collar work and be able to provide for a family.
The album’s writing came at an interesting time (2016) during which Hoffman’s hometown of Denver, CO was experiencing socio-economic growing pains, Hoffman and his wife became parents, and the American political climate, well, you know the story . . .
Take it on Our Shoulders attempts to sit with struggle, point out instead of point fingers, and explore how more than one belief can be true simultaneously.
