summer is only winter with you
Obscure lyrics, creative acoustics, delicate song structures.. the typical marks of ' indie' bands are all here in these two songs. But the package does not often come better than this.
What separates these from the rest of the ( admittedly formuliac) pack is Pinback's abilty to weave all these elements together into an intimate tapestry of music that is at once nuanced and subtly sophisticated. A lush brown cloth interwoven with threads of wry darkness, stitched with tangles of just-there swaying guitar chords, colourful yet reserved, patterned with evening tinged strands that seem to be perfectly laced from the feel of quiet bus rides home. Of just sitting back and leaning your head on the window. Of crisp leaves underfoot. Of dusk and sundown. Of stillness and withdrawl. Of peace that comes with the night which we sometimes forget in the bustle of life.
It took me quite a while to discover ' 3x0'.. but that is the way with these kind of songs I suppose. They detach themselves into the noisy wallpaper and bid their time, waiting for just the right moment to slip out and take you completely, quietly enthralling you. Hm bliss.
