Patrick Watson - Wooden Arms Pretty chill indie pop album but not overly sweet. Blends baroque pop with ambient. No FCC's detected. Reviewed by Truc Nguyen 1. 3:36 Dissonance and feedback interlaced with breathy female vocals. 0:56 changes to a simple acoustic melody with male vocals. 2. 3:48 Unpolished percussion throughout with orchestra instruments at time. Haunting at times. 3.** 4:07 Fluttery sounding violins start off the track with a piano melody and vocals. Pretty bad-ass drums and percussion 2:30-3:08. 4. 3:08 Simple beginning with slight plucking and lethargic vocals. Bittersweet piano with pots and pans and banjo strumming. 5. 2:04 Piano and strings compliment each other well in a nice instrumental interlude. 6. 3:42 Reverby background noise with consistent drumming and twangy guitars. Becomes more playful and upbeat at 1:26. Some weird layering here. 7.*** 4:04 A very sweet (and very much in the vein of folk-rock/pop) song. Female accompaniment. You could play this right after 'Jailbird' from the M. Ward's Hold Time. 8. 5:18 Chaotic mess of distortion, banging on pots, piano and pulsating bass. 3:01 fake ending. More of the same then ends with some harp. 9. 4:12 Simple sweet song, showcases his crooning voice. 10. 3:53 Unmemorable but pleasant. 11. 7:26 Noisy mess, moves into consistent plucking (?) sound with percussive beats. Features bird calls fake ending at 5:20, reemerges as more layering of instruments fade out. | ||
