2014 album from the Nashville-based singer/songwriter. Amy Stroup lives in Nashville, but she's part of the Other Nashville, a community that's geographically close, but artistically far away from the Country Music business. It's a place where songwriters like Stroup are fearlessly demolishing the boundaries between genres, floating freely through the musical universe to create music that blends elements of Folk, Pop, Country and Rock into a unique style that encompasses them all, without fitting easily into any existing category. Like her earlier solo albums, Tunnel avoids the easy truths in search of something more substantial. The music on Tunnel is deceptively calm, but Stroup's vocals convey hidden depths of feeling that pull you deeper with every listen. By mixing the acoustic sounds of a singer/songwriter with a subtle, shimmering studio gloss, the record weaves a dream-like spell of rapturous melancholy.
