The Boy Shares You Stole My Sun

Been in a weird headspace after pulling four consecutive 13 hour days, so when this track from The Boy came my way, I was pretty stunned. Stylistically, the tune is fairly simple, with a light strum working over little percussive elements that add some texture behind the front of the mix. The vocals are extremely fragile, hitting some really high notes, but even in doing so, you feel as if they could shatter at any moment. In a weird way, feels sort of like something that would have gotten Daniel Johnston’s okay, as it feels wholly personal, like we’re peering inside the mind of the narrator.
