"I always looked up to David Berman. His songs and his poetry book had a huge impact on me in my early career. His death was a staggering blow. We were only distant acquaintances but he somehow felt like a long lost half big brother or estranged uncle. I was a wreck for several days after I heard the news, listening to and reading all his work. Then I decided to learn “We Are Real” as a way to console myself. It was quite an emotional experience but sure enough it helped a lot to just sing his words out loud."

I missed out on getting a physical copy years ago, but this album is worth the purchase. Every track is my favorite, but I really love Beast of Burden. Crystal

i absolutely love the version on Mr Fifths on this tape! same for Good Friday too, but that song is so special to me i’d probably love any version of it.
i love hearing these familiar songs completely reinvented. it’s like listening to Yoni cover his own music.
also Yoni absolutely SNAPS on Distance pvthfindxr
