Will Graefe Shares Coral Court Motel

There’s been countless imitators since the passing of Elliott Smith, but Brooklyn songwriter Will Graefe is one of a handful that really feels like he’s approximating Smith’s star. Most of that revolves around Graefe’s vocals; they carry that fragility that almost shatters your heart just by listening. It doesn’t hurt that there’s some vocal accompaniment by the always mesmerizing Katie Von Schleicher, adding a nice little texture to this track. The one difference here is that the unfolding of this song seems to allow for a little bit of solace, lifting spiritually as the tune reaches its latter half. You’ll find this tune on Marine Life, Will’s new LP dropping on April 30th.
