In the Ever is the sixth album by Mason Jennings.[2][3] It was released in 2008 by Brushfire Records.[4] The UK version of the album contains a twelfth track, titled "Sassafrass."
The album was recorded in a cabin to the west of Minneapolis.[5] Aside from the instruments, the only equipment used was a laptop and two microphones.[6]
The Line of Best Fit called the album "a charming and soundly constructed set of songs."[7] City Pages called it "a disappointment for longstanding fans," writing that "the days of front-to-back high-caliber Mason Jennings albums may have passed."[8] PopMatters wrote that In the Ever "more closely resembles a melancholy collection of American folk songs while sticking to [Jennings's] familiar themes: religion’s ambiguity, politics, and love."[9]
