Songwriter and performing artist Ethan Buckner shares debut LP, Treading Water, transforming turbulence into tranquility within sonics that feel intimate and anthemic all at once.
Written during suffocating California wildfires, the global reckoning for racial justice, and a personal health crisis, the album is deeply personal and intensely resonant as it offers comfort and clarity across each note.
Journeying from anxiety to epiphany on "Coming Back to Me,” to the powerful call for resilience on "Eyes on the Prize,” the collection is built carefully upon intricate guitars, dark beats and honest vocals as poetic songwriting moves us slowly and steadily from chaos into catharsis.
With a delicate craft woven intrinsically into social change advocacy, Buckner’s sonic world offers us space for reflection and calm amid an unpredictable world – and with his stunning debut album he makes his alluring yet grounding presence known.
