Comment: chronologically it must be one of the first issues by
San Diego, US-based artist Mitch Welling being released five years ago. At the
time of issuing it he was nineteen years oldas he hints at one composition. Later on, he is being a prolific
artist because of issuing ten outings thereafter. Lyrically he considers permanently
love theme by searching for signs of everlasting, intact love being ready to
get sacrificed for it. However, he could not find it because of painful memories
and huge gaps between personalities. Musically it is supported by intimate
guitar flows and ebbs saturated with hisses, some concrete sounds and sonic
effects and noisy feedback outbursts. Frequently Welling`s compositions are
appealingly dreamy and yearning having found the proper thread within the DIY/lo-fi/bedroom
pop aesthetic. On the other side, one could percieve similarities with the likes of Yo La Tengo, Galaxie 500, American Music Club, Red House Painters. Ultimately it could be said it is a fairly attractive issue reflecting
upon huge potentiality and traditions coming from within the American song-writing
legacy. Indeed, nobody could do better than the Americans do. By the way, three
months ago he has issued Four Songs For
Losing You, his latest one.
