JOSS/If Not For the Hovering... Smooth laid back lounge shadows slide out velvet from this trio with a
little bit of Twin Peaks in the mood, a little Dream City Film Club in the vocal delivery. Sometimes it also reminds me of early My Dad Is Dead‹and I like when that happens. The guitar occasionally hits against the vocals in a way that feels so Dream Syndicate, in that darker and mellower "Ghost Stories" way. I feel like I should either be listening to this album on headphones while riding on a greyhound towards Louisiana sometime after midnight, or while sitting in a dark bar smoking a cigarette and nursing a scotch, eyeing the long black haired girl in the corner booth as this band plays low and slow on a dimly lit red light stage.
