MORE / STORY

J.R.R. Tolkien read from "The Hobbit"

Groomsman is Steven Thorn's debut album. It is a coming of age record about his 20s, when he was a groomsman 9 times. The cinematic soundscapes range across wedding processionals, downtown carriage rides, NYC dance clubs, therapy sessions, graduations, church pews, roller skating rinks, and wedding receptions.

Notable album influences include Arcade Fire's The Suburbs, Coldplay's X&Y, Death Cab for Cutie's Plans, and M83's Hurry Up, We're Dreaming.

Where The Light Comes In

I'm really proud of this one. If I could make a blanket out of this sound, I would wrap myself in it and be warm and never wake up.
Do you like pentatonic scales? Well, this one includes the fourth occasionally! This track is great for falling asleep to, for meditating, for floating around in the cosmos, etc.
