Eric Lindquist - Between the Earth and Sky (2024)

Eric Lindquist’s new album Between the Earth and Sky blends Americana and alt-country with rich storytelling and emotive melodies. Featuring standout tracks like “The Golden Son” and “The Gray Falcon,” the album explores themes of hope, longing, and personal growth, all while showcasing Lindquist’s ability to craft deeply resonant songs.

With its expansive instrumentation and evocative lyrics, the album feels both timeless and fresh, offering a journey through the highs and lows of life, grounded in the earth yet reaching for the sky. Between the Earth and Sky is a must-listen for fans of heartfelt, genre-defying music.

Eric Lindquist’s “Between The Earth And Sky” hails from similar territory as Kelly in term of instrumentation and inspiration but it’s more upbeat and optimistic with a more pronounced bluegrass element. The album kicks off with the squirrelling fiddles and fleet-footed picking of ‘The Golden Son‘, an aspirational song with Lindquist looking for a true romance but, attractive as this song is, it is followed by a string of similar songs which struggle to rise above the opposition. Lacking a killer touch, “Between The Earth And Sky” is a fine album which might attract some followers but is unlikely to gain much traction.
