Comment: this bunch of 11 short-running
tracks represents a modern folk scene called New Weird America being
seminal throughout the 00s. At the end of the decade one of the juggernauts of this style Animal Collective went into clear-cut poppy electronic music so you can see influences coming from the previous years before it. Audibly there are up plucked strings
mixed up with sublime male singing, mellifluous glockenspiel chords
and sweet electronic progressions. Its rustic and simplistic approach
reminds of music under such DIY-based platforms as CLLCT, Daydream
Generation, Quixodelic Records and Rack And Ruin Records. By famous
kindred souls this Sam Durkin's outing can be compared with
CocoRosie, and Vashti Bunyan. Much has changed since then but we can
remember for it with bittersweet nostalgia. Its lyrical message can be pessimistic but musically it is a pleasing experience. Get his another issue, called
Her Blameless Mystery as well on the same link.
