The Birthday Letters Drift Towards Indiepop

When I first remember listening to the Birthday Letters, they definitely seemed to have more of a folk influence in the songwriting. But, now the band have returned with a brand new track, this time giving us a glimpse of shimmering indiepop. They’ve added a keyboard player this round, which ends up fleshing out the band’s sound, allowing Joseph Hughes to play his gentle vocals atop the mix. I love the mix on this track, utilizing slight acoustic guitar, a shaker and synthy drum vibes to add textural depth to the tune. This song will appear on the group’s Mythos Pathos EP.
