So Runs The World Away finds acclaimed songwriter Josh Ritter at a creative peak, delivering a striking blend of rock and pop that’s as thoughtful as it is melodic. Recorded in Maine and at Brooklyn’s Saltlands Studios, this 2010 album draws inspiration from Shakespeare’s Hamlet, weaving literary depth and rich storytelling into every track.
Praised as his most intriguing and diverse work, the album showcases Ritter’s continual artistic growth alongside memorable compositions like “Folk Bloodbath.” Produced by longtime collaborator Sam Kassirer, So Runs The World Away has garnered critical acclaim for its lush arrangements and introspective lyricism, making it a standout addition for fans and newcomers alike.
