A refugium is a haven when conditions are unfavorable. In biology, it’s a space where at-risk organisms can survive against the odds. In anthropology, it’s a hideaway for human life, a place where existence can stare down the yawning maw of catastrophe and still glimpse hope. Simply put, refugia are sanctuaries.
Nick Shoulders’ fifth studio release, Refugia Blues, is a promise that these spaces exist, even today. Even if such shelter is found solely in a song.
