Let It Come Down (St. Johnny album)

Let It Come Down is the second album by the American indie rock band St. Johnny, released in 1996 on Matador Records.

The album marked a shift in the band's sound from their earlier, more lo-fi recordings. It exhibits a greater emphasis on studio production and more polished arrangements, incorporating elements of alternative rock, folk, and even touches of country. Critically, the album was well-received, often cited for its songwriting and nuanced arrangements.

The album's tracks explore themes of isolation, disillusionment, and the passage of time, typical of frontman Steve Wynn's songwriting. It includes the tracks "Ghost of Wire", "Turn the Lights Out", and "When the River Comes". "Let It Come Down" cemented St. Johnny’s place in the mid-1990s indie rock scene, though it remained a relatively niche success. The album is no longer in print, but tracks are sometimes available digitally.
