Sky Exile by Vex
The highly anticipated, critically acclaimed followup to 2013's 'Memorious,' 'Sky Exile' features 11 tracks written and recorded from the summer of 2013 to spring 2016. Produced by Michael Day, and engineered, mixed, and mastered by Michael Day and Adrian Benavides.
Lyrically, the album is written as a set of journal entries from somewhere in West Texas during the tortuously hot and drought-ridden summer of 2011. The overall concept is our attempt to imagine the personal narratives and forgotten histories of the abandoned houses that we so often encounter on long and lonely Texas roads.
