Justus Proffit Shares New Single, Burning the Ground

Over the last few years, we’ve managed to get lots of coverage up on LA’s Justus Proffit, so I’m going to take sole responsibility for his signing to Bar None Records (that’s how it works right?); he’s also recorded an EP with Jay Som, so maybe it wasn’t ALL me. Alas, there’s now a really strong slowcore ballad for you to enjoy, with hints at a new record, plus an accompanying video to boot. The song’s got hints of Elliott Smith, as I’ve said before, where there are moments that Proffit’s voice feels like little more than a whisper worked over carefully crafted guitar lines. He’s begging you to come sit with him, let him share his stories with you. There’s something about his song that haunt you, something that just seems to get absorbed by your soul as you press play.
