It’s been seven years since Dempsey’s first solo LP, Everything is True. After returning to Something For Kate for one album, and dropping an LP of acoustic cover versions, he reclaimed complete control and constructed his new album Strange Loop.
Recorded late last year with Wilco producer Tom Schick in Chicago, Strange Loop uses the folk-rock stylings of Everything is True as a point of departure, taking in alt-country epics, fuel guzzling belters and Replacements-like bar-room confessionals.
