Hemingway's Lemonade by Coxswain Insignia
Date Released 5/10/2011 Sales 7 Listens 14
After a long struggle with alcohol addiction, Coxswain Insignia frontman Brad Singer is finally facing his demons head-on. Singer made multiple cryptic cries for help on previous albums, but "Hemingway's Lemonade" finally lays all the cards on the table. No secrets, no hidden meanings, just pure catharsis. "Hemingway's Lemonade" vividly depicts the quicksand-like grip that Singer's addiction had on him, and the shameful moment of realization. Simultaneously uplifting and heart-wrenching.

"From one band who has recently climbed an uphill battle with addiction, kudos to you for laying bare such a personal journey and doing it in such a cathartic musical way. From beginning to end, this album tells a story that so many know, that some have yet to encounter, and that most are still seeking the end of. Excellent in all ways. ~M & A from Squidbitchez~"
FuriousGrace"Thanks, Hoseman! Typography can really make or break a design, so I always try and use it to the best of my ability."
frizbee"This album is brilliantly executed. Brad Singer has crawled from the depths and we benefit by his sharing that experience through song.
And as always...truly crazy mad cover! Frizbee, you have a way with fonts/text that never ceases to amaze me!!"
"All I can say is..I love this album! A musical memoir of a dark time and the path out. Great is an understatement!"
theHoseman"Why have only three people bought this?!?!"
ChildofAlma"This is another example of how taking your time to conceptualize every aspect of an album's release can not only improve it, but also elevate it to the point where you can almost hear the music and in doing so it becomes a piece of art itself. It's a true figment."

"A masterpiece. From the exquisite cover (love how the band's name looks as if it is carved into the piano) to the build up frizbee used to set the stage for this record, to the album's title and great song titles. And the mysterious 7 written in slash marks makes you think...about how perfect it all is. "
