Cambria County native Cole Crusciel’s debut studio album, “Coffee,” dropped on all major platforms on Tuesday, yet Crusciel harbors no illusions or desires to be “the next big thing.”
Instead, he hopes listeners of his 10 original compositions simply enjoy them and pause to reflect. Crusciel considers himself a writer, not a singer or a highly skilled musician. The album reflects a two-year creative journey by the recent college graduate who double-majored in philosophy and English.
Crusciel, who performs under the band name The Crucial Detail, said the album came to fruition thanks to a “fundraising campaign, which brought in over $7,000 from generous donors.”
