From the buzzing acoustics of “Shadows” to the piano-driven tenderness of “Only Inspiration,” Jurvanen’s openness is front and centre. There’s playful commentary on pandemic-era life, reflections on family and fatherhood, and a poignant closing statement on belonging as the son of immigrants. The duo’s range is striking, weaving together soul grooves, country, indie pop, and folk-rock warmth into a record that feels both intimate and expansive.
Bahamas has long been celebrated for his singular guitar work, wry lyricism, and magnetic live presence.

With My Second Last Album, Jurvanen continues to expand that legacy, embracing new sounds while grounding his work in authenticity and joy.
