In August of 2021, we at The Amp were handed the debut record of Corduroy Brown Let Me Know and were surprised at the record as a whole. It was an indie rock powerhouse of a record that was part jubilation, part confusion, but all heart. Coming off of a fairly traumatic year, it was a record of piecing together what happens after the noise dies down and you’re left in silence to pick up some pieces. This release picks up in a lot of ways where that record left off. The main difference is that the Rest EP strips away the jubilant compositions and strips them down to in most cases an instrument and a voice. It’s vulnerable and exposing which can be tough for a lot of artists, because in that setting when things are that simplified, every piece has to be right, and with this record, it is.
