Recorded like every instrument is whispering in your ear. And what a great chorus.
An earnest Carole King-ish missive to the children of the future and somehow it manages to sound really good.
The second verse jumps in a half bar early with layered vocals and piano to make it pop, and it's really really nice.
"We met in the mid-summer, he treats me like his own daughter, and I don't know why..."
Ridiculously ambitious emo prog, or something.
Arcade Fire wishes they cosplayed David Byrne this good.
Corny song but holy smokes the guitar solos at the end are tight.
"I live on a really depressing cul de sac, where couples get divorced and people come up that you'd never seen before."
Kurt Vile if he tried harder.
Alec Ounsworth's vocal is so forlorn you don't believe for a moment that he knows any such fucking place.
Drained of all the young-man bombast and maybe better for it?
