Comet Gain Reimagines City Fallen Leaves
The recent announcement of a reissue of City Fallen Leaves has encouraged David Christian to revisit these songs that are over 20 years old. In doing so, he’s quietly put up a Comet Gain reimagining of the album, and it’s quite a joy to hear how he hear’s the music now. In the tracklisting, you’ll see some of the reordering, but there’s also a gentler approach to my personal favorite LP. “Ballad of a Mix Tape” has become a bedroom acoustic ballad, whereas it was one of my go-to bristling pop tunes when I was making mixtapes in 2005. So, you have two options today…and I suggest both: listen to the reimagining, A Sound Found Underground-City Fallen Leaves Retold or go buy the original version…if only I could convince my wife I need to LP copies of this album! You can stream both because you probably haven’t listened enough to either!

I was looking for a little bit of a left turn in my listening when I stumbled upon this rad new track from UK project, Soft Power. There’s a bit of a sense of longing in the lonesome vibe of the guitar, but a metronomic punch on the rhythm section mystically pushes the tune, rolling forward like a tumbleweed. In the vocals you’ll find a bit of soul hanging on the syllables, almost in this sort of TV on the Radio territory, like a powerful hiccup at the end of various notes, purposefully meant to let the listener connect, so go on!
