Universe Acceptable by Ash Ganley Ash Ganley : Universe Acceptable.
 Masterfully nuanced aaa rock.

The music draws from a wide range of influences, ranging from driving alternative country to lush acoustic pop to dark Western-tinged Americana. The songs are transporting and lush without losing the raw, sparse quality that gives them their unique weight and intimacy. Haunting harmonies and richly-textured, darkly blooming guitar tones provide an edgy backdrop for Ash's unforgettable songwriting and smoky, frayed-velvet lead vocals.

"Universe Acceptable" is an album of questions asked and mysteries unexplained. Some questions are answered while others can never be. Finding peace in the face of the unknowable while trusting in one's self is a recurring theme on this diverse, passionate and powerful record. The songs speak to the spirit in all of us, drawing out compassion and acceptance laced with the idea that in humility lies true power and grace.

Join Ash on a musical journey and ask yourself: Is the universe acceptable in your mind, or do you need to see an explanation for the mystery?
