Arms of Kismet Drops ‘Ballast and Bromides’

So is it political or personal?

Maybe all politics are personal.

On Ballast and Bromides, the fifth album from Arms of Kismet, the state of America hangs over city and countryside like a sooty cloud — albeit one with a playful silver lining. “Songs are like little worlds,” says singer-songwriter Mark Doyon, “where we can work out our hopes and dreams.”

Maybe we could all use something new to sing.

Step up, citizen. Ballast and Bromides is for you.
