DJ Aporia Reviewed 2016-06-16 | ||
Sauntering, country-informed musings on life and love. There’s bluesy guitars, gospel and jazz influence, acoustic meditations, and earnest vocals. Whitney takes intense influence from Girls (rip), a band they’ve opened for in the past. Songs are generally simple, catchy, sweet-and-sour jams but it’s all warm and innocent and brings back such nice memories of Girls. RIYL Girls, Cass McCombs, Gandalf, Martin Courtney Favorites: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9 No FCCs 1. (3:58) No Woman—Acoustic and electric guitar, bluesy hammer-ons, strings, lazily unfurls. 2. (2:21) * The Falls—Grooving piano and electric guitar, very Girls. 3. (4:02) ** Golden Days—Lush 12-string guitar, nice bass and emotive vocals, catchy jam. 4. (3:01) *** Dave’s Song—Stand out bass, lots of guitar played solo, heart-on-sleeve alt-rock. 5. (3:09) * Light Upon the Lake—Fingerpicked guitar, sounds like Gandalf. 6. (2:42) ** No Matter Where We Go—Raucous electric guitar and keyboards, sweet soloing, heartening love anthem. 7. (2:14) On My Own—Vocal-driven, some high register guitars, deep driving bass and percussion come in halfway. 8. (1:42) Red Moon—Slurred brass, gliding keyboards, jazzy, no vocals. 9. (3:26) * Polly—Soft synthesizer at beginning, triumphant flourishes, earnest, reminds me of Girls’ first album. 10. (3:27) Follow—Another sweet and simple jam, hummable, more of the same. |
