about

The Best Intentions' debut album, Maybe It's Nothing, is the culmination of years of playing quietly in the corner at our favorite breakfast joints, busking at farmer's markets, and delivering singing telegrams to valentine's day lovers. We have a penchant for melancholia, and we think it's healthy to cry. So let it flow, baby. You'll feel better afterward. That's a Best Intentions guarantee.

This is one of my favorite albums in existence and is comparable to Tom Waits or Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds in quality of composition and story telling. Glad to have come across these folks. Seanoin Daugherty
