Today, Eric Schroeder shares his new LP, ‘The Crucifixion of Eric Schroeder’, which follows his first album of 2021, ‘The Kid’, released April 20. Both records were released via Earth Libraries.

“Half of the songs were written on a month-long writing spree, while the others were picked from a back catalog of three months’ worth of music.”

This album is intended to be as deep in its country and folk roots just as it is deep in rock and roll music, while still never completely one or the other. These are some of the best character narratives I have written and also some of my most personal and transparent songs.”

He continued on the inspiration behind the album, saying: “This album was inspired by my addition of an electric band to my songs. It had an influence on me to try and write songs that sounded more suitable for a band and to write songs that were simpler in terms of the music itself. My biggest inspiration is the self-doubt and self-depreciation that forces me to write more songs and to a higher and different quality.”
