Still Corners Ready Dream Talk

It amazes me how Still Corners still seem to continue their musical progression, years down the road here; they’ve been at it for nearly 15 years, and while you hear a touchstone or link to the past, they manage to still turn your ear. The rattling tambourine is a nice touchstone between this record and The Last Exit, but Tessa’s vocals seem somehow mysterious; there’s something in the way the band have her vocals kind of teasing the listener, like a playful ghost beckoning you to follow. Honestly, I love the openness of the track; the guitar licks are minimal and sharp, but stay out of the way until they’re necessarily to texturize what’s in store. Then, just as you’ve settled into place, the duo lock into this sultry excursion that closes the tune out. They’ll release Dream Talk via Wrecking Light Records in April.
