The glass bottom boat of the cultural press
Mellow moving guitar over a held-back almost-hushed voice. Sometimes reminding me of a sparse and more upbeat folk singer, but not quite pushing into alt.country territory. There’s a silliness to the songs, but I’m not sure if it’s intentional or not. I’m thinking it is. Like Weird Al singing the theme to Jurassic Park… but more rock ‘n roll.
