Tonality Star has always been coy. His early Portland releases were distributed with no name and no fanfare, but his dreamy music didn’t go unnoticed for long. After Robin Pecknold (of Fleet Foxes fame) named his album “To My Long Lost Love” on a year end top-10 list, he received a flurry of attention. “Easily the new album I’ve listened to most,” Pecknold wrote.
