Richards second album is a natural progression from the style and song writing first heard on Beautiful Car Wreck. Where Beautiful Car Wreck was brooding and insightful, Eighty Two and a Half Chances is upbeat, even on a downbeat topic, with infectious melodies and uplifting choruses. With subjects ranging from life, love, divine intervention and luck, this album goes places that we've all been, even to the day dreams of that random someone you know you'd love to meet. 　　Featuring a stunning band line up these songs have space to breathe whilst at the same time giving your foot something to tap out a rhythm to.
