“In its entirety, Bad Art serves as a masterful exploration of the human experience, fractured and imperfect, yet infused with creative joy and hopeful insight. Righter’s poetic prowess captures the ephemerality of joy, the persistence of sorrow, and the nuanced dance between connection and detachment. The album’s strength lies not only in its lyrical finesse but also in its ability to resonate with the listener’s own narrative, offering solace in shared vulnerability. Bad Art is not just an album; it’s a testament to the profound beauty found in life’s imperfect, messy, and achingly authentic moments, as well as the delicate strength needed to persevere through them.” - Doug Nunnally
