Eraserland hits the hardest when Showalter is alone with his limber, echoing acoustic guitar. His voice reminds of other greats; he totally owns it as his own.

All Music
Like all of Showalter's work, Eraserland seeks catharsis, but this time around it feels a little bit less aligned with the more hedonistic aspects of the journey
