Description:
The album marks a notable return to the signature acoustic sound that Carrabba first developed on early Dashboard Confessional albums like 2000s The Swiss Army Romance and 2001s The Places You Have Come To Fear The Most. Recorded over 10 days in Florida with renowned producer Don Gilmore (Pearl Jam, Linkin Park), The Shade of Poison Trees is filled with the kind of earnest acoustic laments and smart, poetic lyrics that long ago turned Carrabba into a feverishly adored artist. While he continues to evolve as a songwriter throughout, the album is a significant return to the Dashboard of old, as well as a tip of the hat to fans that have spent the past nine years by his side.
