Breakups and divorce can lead to great music. Bob Dylan’s Blood on the Tracks and Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill come to mind. Ending a relationship is complicated, and, no, the path is not always the same.
The new Judah & the Lion album The Process (out May 10) is less about bitterness and heartbreak and more about processing loss and moving forward.
