Dirt Buyer unveils moving new single, Gathering Logs

Dirt Buyer has shared a powerful new single, Gathering Logs.

Taken from his upcoming album Dirt Buyer II, the musician – real name Joe Sutkowski – explains that this track in particular “was one of the first songs I wrote after moving to New York”.

“I’d spent a lot of time mulling over the things that had happened in my life prior to the move and by this time I hadn’t really processed any of my family trauma that had been plaguing me for the better part of my life, so a lot of the songs that I wrote during this time were written through the lens of self-discovery, uncertainty, and resentment,” he continues.

“Gathering Logs is a transmogrified outline of my experience living with a narcissistic, alcoholic parent as much as it’s a meditation on leaving space to have empathy for yourself.”

Dirt Buyer II is due out on October 20 via Bayonet Records. Watch the video for Gathering Logs below:
