No One Does It Like You - Department of Eagles
My musical tastes are finicky, to say the least. And they cross most genres, so I find myself trying out lots of different things, throwing albums against the brain wall to see if they’ll stick.
Even if I’m fairly certain I won’t like them.
Which I was with this album, as it is a side project from a member of Grizzly Bear, a band that just doesn’t “stick” for me, but rather slides down the wall, leaving no evidence of itself.
This album, as a result, surprised me by how…pleasant it was. Atmospheric, but still with enough song structure to enjoy not only the individual songs, but the album as a whole.
It’s actually been a perfect album for the recent grey weather, or any time I wake up before the sun, slow melodic songs, just a hint of gravity permeating.
I do believe I’m not too good at describing music. But that’s what I got.
