Following in the steps of a pair of electronics-embellished folk EPs, Eclipse is the debut record from Richmond, VA's addy. As with addy's previous work, Eclipse's contemplative magic was produced entirely from home studios, lending a crucial flexibility to the album's overall recording process, the final product of which belies its modest, DIY studio accommodations.

Led by the eponymous Adam Watkins (they/them), addy’s compositions navigate universal themes of friendship, heartbreak, and growth on the terrain of eloquent, country-reminiscent instrumentation. Natural ASMR-inducing textures and Casio-sequenced drum hooks create a unique rhythmic foundation for addy’s distinct lilt, itself occasionally adorned with honeysuckle-sweet pitch correction which lends the folkish twang an unusual yet modern slant.
