Tied Heart returns with Days of Abdication, a “year in review” of the last four years. The most personal and direct album to date, it centers around, as always, mental health, as well as divorce and a rapidly decaying world that can feel overwhelming to even the strongest of us. The songs explore the feeling of abandoning ones responsibilities, whether to marriage, friends, family, or the future of a society that openly disdains and exploits most of its members. Once again operating alone, songwriter Alex Hartle strips back some of Rented Space's layers and complexity to produce an album whose music matches its lyrics' raw directness and more closely resembles the songs' original intent.
