note: Feeling nostalgia. I can only describe this sound as slacker rock from the 90′s. Think the sound that Pavement and Neutral Milk Hotel created, along with Arab Strap et. al. Basically, 60′s folks, art rock, lo-fi, and a dab of americana. What strike me most is the distant wound and angst. That distinct melancholic mood of lo-fi melodic guitar and sparse composition. The voice. The moody soft voice is haunting. It’s the feeling of driving along country road aimlessly sitting silently with somebody, not in best circumstances, yet loving… Probably there is some relevance to today’s general mood I suppose. I file this into “gentle evening pop mood”
