Driftwood Tune from Grand Lake Islands

I guess as the faux-Winter sinks in, it’s time to regress into sad-bastard tunes, and nothing is as fitting as this song from Grand Lake Islands.  It’s this dense piece of folk-pop that carries your mind down lonely roads.  But, there are some little touches where they subtly go in directions that I didn’t expect.  For instance, the chorus has the opportunity to erupt, and no one would blame them, but instead they just carry into a darker tone.  It’s songs like this one that have me anticipating their new effort, Song From Far, which will be released on Janury 20th via Good Mountain Records.
