SONG OF THE DAY (#252)

'feel you now,' by the autumn defense

the next time you drive up and down PCH [if you haven't yet done it, i highly recommend you do it at least once in your lifetime], i think you'd be well advised to take along the autumn defense's self-titled third album for you driving music.

john stirrat [he of wilco and the uncle tupelo] and pat sasone really outdid themselves on this one. it's an incredibly textured and nuanced album, so wonderfully produced and so expertly and deftly played. i admit that i this kind of music regularly [i certainly enjoy it, but you know, i have to to be in the right mood], but i admire so much what they've done and i so appreciate the skill behind it that wow, it's hard not to get lost in it. this is what cali should sound like--golden, lazy summer evenings with the pacific ocean nipping at your toes. yeah.

→ the autumn defense: feel you now
→ the autumn defense: this will fall away [i said it before, i'll say it again: flute solos rock the scene!]
