Tito’s Handmade Vodka 20th Anniversary featuring Shakey Graves

“The first album was me wanting to burn down my life, cut my hair off, and run screaming into the woods,” says Alejandro Rose-Garcia. “This album is the trials and tribulations of becoming domesticated, letting people into your world and letting go of selfishness — the story of becoming a pair, losing that, and reconciling with the loss and gain of love.”

Rose-Garcia is professionally known as Shakey Graves, and with his new record, “And the War Came,” he extends the ground — emotionally and sonically — broken by his 2011 self-released debut album, “Roll the Bones,” which brought him national acclaim and, three years later, still ranks near the top of Bandcamp’s digital best-seller charts.
