Hushed folk music on the second solo album from the Mojave 3/ Slowdive front man. Overall the album has a pretty consistent feel: subdued songs acoustic guitar with Halstead's easily distinguishable hushed vocals. A good album, though I may like his previous solo effort more.
-Adrian
My picks: 2, 11, 1, 5, 8 (FCC), 9, 10, 12 FCC: 8.
med-slow and pretty subdued. guitar, pedal steel.
med-fast. steady-strummed, reverbed guitars in the background. one of my favorites of the album.
mid tempo. strummed guitar and cute melody. piano later.
med-slow. a couple guitars, bass. a little sleepy/ dreamy.
mid tempo fingerpicked with drums. nice melody.
med-fast. finger snaps, fake drums, keyboards.
mid tempo. fingerpicked. subdued melody.
FCC ("fuck" near the beginning) med-fast. fingerpicked.
mid-tempo. drums w/ fingerpicked guitar over top. nice melody.
mid tempo. fingerpicked guitar, bass, keyboards. sort of grows on you as it goes along.
mid-tempo strummed guitar. mandolin and nice harmony vocals. drums later. one of my favorites of the album.
mid tempo, fingerpicked guitar and voice. pretty sparse.
