Float Away With Boats
I don’t know what the weather is like where this post is finding you, but I do know that it’s a grey day here in Austin, but there’s no sign of rain in the forecast, which always leaves me in a weird place as to what I want to listen to. You see, I had that dilemma until I found this track “Shallows” by Melbourne artist Boats, which is turning out to be the perfect accompaniment for this kind of day. This song has faded and echoey vocals atop layers of acoustic guitar and synthesizer, which build as the tune progresses in addition to handclaps (who doesn’t love handclaps?) and other percussive builds. Reminds me a bit of something Justin Vernon would be responsible for. If you like this track, you’re in luck, as it’s part of an EP with the same title coming out April 17th, which you can check the details of here
