Graham Norwood Shares New Single 'Collapses To Zero'
by Kaitlin Milligan - Dec 6, 2019


Today, San Francisco singer-songwriter Graham Norwood shared the latest single from his debut album Out Of The Sea, “Collapses To Zero.” 'Beginning with soft acoustic strumming before introducing dreamy steel guitar, the song is a an existential meditation that finds its singer wading through a sea of reverb that washes over the listener with a sense of warmth. Graham, who showcases both his folk singer side and his more soulful, with high octave vocals and far out harmonies, brings to mind the quieter side of Harry Nilsson with an indie rock sensibility.' [Glide Magazine] Norwood also announced Out Of The Sea will be released on January 31.
