Not An Airplane

“It’s easy to fall in love,” but is anything else easy?

Nick Shattell doesn’t think so. The paranoid, beautiful, rambling sprawl of It Could Just Be This Place rushes its way through decades of country music, detailing every hardship and heartbreak Americana loves to soundtrack. Yeah, falling in love is a piece of cake, but late night conversations with an obstinate god, growing old and getting your heart chipped away by the weight of the world, not so much. So what else could we do but dive in? Listen to our interview, read our thoughts on It Could Just Be This Place and hear why it’s the best of the 10s.

“Can you ever break up with God? It feels more like denying the existence of something, which I know some of my exes are capable of, but I am not so sure they are right considering I still exist.”
