Solely writing seven of the album's 11 tracks, Outlaw fuses the sounds of his favourite artists of the '80s - Kenny Loggins, Cyndi Lauper, Tom Petty - with stories influenced by the great innovators of the 20th century and the engineers that make up his own family tree. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ambitious direction of \u003ci\u003ePopular Mechanics \u003c\/i\u003emay seem like a sudden shift from Outlaw's country-leaning albums, \u003ci\u003eAngeleno\u003c\/i\u003e (2015) and \u003ci\u003eTenderheart\u003c\/i\u003e (2017), which garnered appearances on CBS Saturday Morning's Anthony Mason, NPR, The New Yorker, Wall Street Journal and more, but the gears actually started turning in early 2018 after Outlaw shelved some new material he recorded in Southern California.

The 13-track collection of originals was recorded in the San Fernando Valley and co-produced by Outlaw alongside Martin Pradler. Outlaw enlisted many of the same musicians that made his first album, 2015’s \u003ci\u003eAngeleno\u003c\/i\u003e, an undisputed breakthrough and one of the best-reviewed debuts of that year: harmony singer Molly Jenson, pedal steel pro Jeremy Long and guitarist Danny Garcia, along with Taylor Goldsmith (Dawes) and Bo Koster (My Morning Jacket). In addition, \u003ci\u003eTenderheart\u003c\/i\u003e features local mariachi group Erwin Vasquez and Mariachi Teocuitatlan. Outlaw offers an extraordinary refinement of the artistic identity laid out on \u003ci\u003eAngeleno\u003c\/i\u003e. Sonically, the album elaborates on his “SoCal Country” sound: a sun-bleached, Baja-influenced twang that deftly points to country’s neo-traditionalists and LA’s legendary singer-songwriters.
