Quiet Tune from Sonny Elliot

It’s weird how your moods change hour by hour during this pandemic situation; you search for energy, you come back to find solace. One tune that’s helped me this morning is the latest single from Sonny Elliot; it’s a carefully picked guitar number, little more than the hum of the strings and the heartfelt vocals. In a way, it reminds me of Gravenhurst, particularly as the song nears the 3 minute mark and adds a quiet string accompaniment to build in some texture to close the song out. If musical escapism happens to be your thing at the moment, stop right here.

Enjoy This Sonny Elliott

Today, my head’s floating off into who knows where; I’m mentally drifting out the window of my classroom. Luckily, this Sonny Elliott tune has been in heavy rotation, matching the sentiment of my current state. There’s a fragility in the vocals, as if they could shatter in midair, crumbling to the floor. Guitars angle and turn behind you, wrapping you up in this blankety of dreamy warmth; it all has this sublime calm effect in the end. This track features on the forthcoming Under Covers EP, which the duo will unleash unto the world on May 25th.
