Canalss Share Manateez

When I was younger, most of my friends were super into grunge, but that’s where my dads taste got me into Townes and Nick Drake, then my record store of choice turned me onto Elliott Smith; I just naturally gravitated towards singer-songwriters that embraced this sort of solitude. All this to say, Canalss reminds me a lot of that, albeit with a slightly more modern take, akin to early Coma Cinema stuff or Peter and the Wolf. It feels like it was made at home for home listening; you get the intimacy, but there’s this faint hint at absurdity in the lyrics, which personally makes it all the more endearing. This tune is brought to you by the kind folks at Zerowell Records.
