Jana Horn: Optimism [No Quarter]
Optimism is the debut album from Jana Horn, a Texan musician who grew up in a small town and found herself entranced by Christian screamo shows in Dallas as a young person. She started her serious undertaking of songwriting during her time as a college student in Austin, and after nearing completion of another version of a first album, she scrapped it in favor of the gentle and understated songs that she delivers on Optimism.
