Description
Popa n’a pas cessé de travailler. Il a suivi la sortie 2020 célébrant son 30e anniversaire (“It’s A Mighty Hard Road”) avec une sortie introspective reflétant son temps à la maison : “Tinfoil Hat”. L’année qui a suivi a conduit à des thèmes et des temps plus optimistes. Cela se reflète fortement sur son dernier enregistrement, “Emotional Gangster”, sorti dans le monde entier sur Dixiefrog Records le 18 mars 2022.
