The Minnesota Child is all about finding “the beauty in both the dark and the light”. His forthcoming debut LP, produced by Justin Glasco (Paris Paloma, The Lone Bellow), is a meditation on Buckner's struggle with anxiety and embracing a new chapter of adulthood in the context of social, political, and environmental turmoil. The songs weave between moments both intimate and anthemic, exploring struggles that are both deeply personal and unavoidably collective.
