Eric Britt
IF YOU NEED a new song on repeat, hit play on Eric Britt’s Atonement now. It’s the first single on Britt’s seventh studio album and second solo album, Full Circle, released this past summer. It’s also the top-played song on his Spotify profile, with nearly 8,500 listens (modest, but noteworthy).
“Atonement” opens the album with a beautiful, sonically bluegrass swathe of acoustic sounds that you may mistake for Mumford & Sons or The Avett Brothers. However, when his baritone-ishly dark voice rolls into the timbres of folk and blues, you hear the alt-rock influence that is thread through all of Britt’s music, all 28 years of it.
