As a teacher, I’m looking forward to a summer break where I can just sit back and digest long-playing albums, and Max Blansjaar‘s new LP is definitely on my list. In his latest single, he’s operating in the territory that we’d offer up to Dan Bejar or maybe even Bill Callahan; the storytelling is the clear focus, particularly with the way the vocals hang out front, deep and affecting. That’s not to say there’s not a musical element, as notes are orchestrated behind to provide lift and accents in all the right places, whether that’s a sharp twanging guitar string or a deep piano note that fluttering in the air…you get this deep emotional sensation that sends you tumbling into the tune. If you’re interest is piqued, then keep an eye out for False Comforts, out on June 21st via Beanie Tapes.
