It’s been a while since this sort of straightforward, hi-fi folk pop has resonated with me as much as this has. (Saintseneca, “Acid Rain.” Can’t.stop.listening.) In general, I’ve been hearing a resurgence of minimal punky sing-a-long jams and clever/piercing lyrics in my life lately, which I think I am going to attribute to the protests, and feeling drawn to all things simple and direct and accessible; things that ‘just make sense.’ Or maybe it’s just that it’s November when everyone gets nostalgic and I’m reverting back to my 2k7 tastes. (Or something.) Or maybe this is actually just above-par songwriting.
