Chris Robley: 'Eden' DEBUT

Formerly of Portland, Oregon...now from Portland, Maine.

 

 

From Chris Robley’s fifth full-length album, The Great Make Believer (Cutthroat Pop), his first in five years, sheds the lush orchestration of previous releases to deliver a raw, country-tinged collection of ten pop-folk songs that detail his quest for redemption. “I’m not a bad guy, but in the world of The Great Make Believer, I’m the bad guy,” says Robley, discussing the album’s lyrical content.
