I, Nebulous is the fourth studio album by singer\/songwriter Andrew Lorand, whose mixture of humor, wit, and keen observation of the human condition is in full force here. Darryl Purpose, one of Americana\/folk music’s most celebrated touring singer\/songwriters, lends his unique vocals to four of the tracks, including “It’s A Good Thing.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“There’s a map on her wall, and a dart in her hand
and where it lands we agree is where we’ll head to.
So she closes her eyes and she lets the dart fly
and it sails through the door to her bedroom.
So I say, let’s go there, the water’s safe, the weather’s fair
and we won’t have to change our money”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

With the release of “Location.Location.Location”, Andrew Lorand has created a collection of brilliantly crafted songs covering the emotional landscape from the humorous to the heartbreaking.
