Tyler Lyle just released another great album earlier this week. He’s been featured here before, and for good reason. He’s probably one of the best young American songwriters around today. He manages to write pop songs without them sounding cheap, and thoughtful songs without them sounding inaccessible.

The new record is called The Native Genius of Desert Plants. You can preview and purchase it below via his Bandcamp page. The whole album is worth hearing and buying, but if you want convinced and only have about fourteen minutes of free time, check out songs 1, 7, and 11.

RIYL: Josh Ritter, Matt Costa, Ryan Adams, good music
