It’s hard to not look away from all increasing absurdity of our current political landscape. And theoretically, there’s not a lot that can be said within a song to possibly address such a vast concept, but it’s also a good start. Singer-songwriter Eric Anders’s latest single, "This Fire Has Burned too Long," is a fiery, yet calm statement with a rustic Americana sound that inspires a feeling of reflective melancholy. It’s a fitting anthem for our trying times, one that keeps a tinge of optimism even when it unapologetically calls out the sheer lack of tact that plagues our social discourse.
"This Fire Has Burned too Long" can be found on Anders’s latest full-length, Eleven Nine, which was released earlier this year via his official bandcamp page. Juan Rodríguez
