Every BC Camplight album has a backstory every bit as compelling as its music. A Sober Conversation is no different, as virtuoso songwriter and pianist Brian Christinzio documents the last two years of his life. He finally confronts a shocking childhood trauma while embracing sobriety, to create his bravest and most revealing record.

It's an enthralling, sometimes haunting quasi-concept record marked by ruthless tragic-comedic purging and sublime, intricate melody. The album knits lyrical screenplays to dazzling arrangements, showcasing BC Camplight at the height of his remarkable powers.
