Down to the Waterline: ok PERIOD what a stellar start to an album. It feels like driving down Ventura Highwaaayyyy Water of Love: mischievous opening, a cowboy’s opening scene, feels like the Wild Wild West Setting Me Up: ok this album is GROOVY and I need to start looking at lyrics because these guys are mumblin’ for real. It’s a vibe though. This is a precautious “f you! You can’t play me” anthem. The guitar lines feel very southern rock/blues, very chuck berry Six Blade Knife: Nothing special! A song for unhealthily attached yearners Southbound Again: This song reminds me of going from Boston to North Carolina during college 🥹 “Southbound again, don’t know if I’m going or leaving home”. Have I carved out a new space that feels like home with a new community and freedom or is home where I can be my most uninhibited natural self, the way I was raised. “Southbound again, last night I felt like crying” I’m leaving what I know and returning to what once was. I miss that person. Sultans of Swing: I don’t know if I’ve ever heard of this band but I’ve CERTAINLY heard this song! I would love to see this in a sped up fight scene in a western or anime turned live action movie. Sharp movements, sharp angles, you know the vibes In the Gallery: They’re reminding me of Steely Dan at this point Wild West End: ok OBSESSED with the mandolin and steel guitar! I love how the instrumentation mirrors what music for the “Wild West” sounds. Dreamy syncopated guitars, gruff voices, rough growling vocals Lions: These songs are too damn long, I’m sorry. Nothing they’re saying necessitates songs this long!! It’s not like the guitar solos are super impressive either???
