References to his Brattleboro upbringing abound, but at the core of ‘Smalltown Stardust’ is Thomas’s desire to commune with nature on a spiritual level. Images of the natural world, from blizzards to green mountains to cloudy days, fill the songs. “I consider nature to be my religion,” he explains, and ‘Smalltown Stardust’ is nothing if not a spiritual exploration.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e In the end, ‘Smalltown Stardust’ is not merely a nostalgia trip. Thomas not only conjured a special time in his life, he found new inspiration, surrounded by collaborators and a sense of love and wonder for nature. If the first King Tuff record was content to merely state Thomas was no longer dead, ‘Smalltown Stardust’ is a paean to what that life means. A statement of belief and a hymnal to the magic still to behold all around us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTracklisting\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLove Letters To Plants\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHow I Love\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA Meditation\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePortrait Of God\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSmalltown Stardust\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePebbles In A Stream\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTell Me\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRock River\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Bandits Of Blue Sky\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlways Find Me\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sub Pop Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42276404527260,"sku":"SP1525","price":19.87,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/1_752bb294-ea2c-46a5-8c18-347d58ba4897.jpg?v=1673466545","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/king-tuff-smalltown-stardust-lp","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
