Where SABLE, was a work of solitude, fABLE is an outstretched hand. Radiant, ornate pop music gleams around Vernon voice as he focuses on a new and beautiful era.On every song, his eyes are locked with one specific person. It love, which means there an intense clarity, focus, and honesty within fABLE. It a portrait of a man flooded and overwhelmed by that first meeting (Everything Is Peaceful Love). There a tableau defined by sex and irrepressible desire (Walk Home). This is someone filled with light and purpose seeing an entire future right in front of him: a partner, new memories, maybe a family. There something undeniably healing about infatuation. Cleaving to someone else can feel like light pouring in from a door that suddenly swung wide. But there a reason SABLE, is of a piece with fABLE the shadow still rears its head in lighter times. Even when youve reached a new chapter, youll still find yourself back in your own foundational muck. A fable isnt a fairytale. There good stuff: un
idled joy and trips to Spain. But fables arent hinged on happy endings theyre here to instill a lesson.As the album winds to a close, he acknowledges the need for patience and a commitment to put in the work. There a selfless rhythm required when youre enmeshing yourself with another person. The songand by extension the entire albumis a pledge. He ready to find that pace.Tracklist:THINGS BEHIND THINGS BEHIND THINGS S P E Y S I D E AWARDS SEASON Short Story Everything Is Peaceful Love Walk Home Day One (feat.
