I’d Be There In A Minute
Baths “You’re My Excuse To Travel”
There’s a fair amount of negative space in this track, but it’s mostly just to leave enough room for the vocals, which push to the outer limits of shrill emoting without crossing the line into being unlistenable. That said, I’d totally understand if the singing here was a deal-breaker for you. I think this song is mostly sweet, despite the lyrics being fairly difficult to decipher. The general mood is bittersweet and a bit a impatient, the track kinda rocks back and forth between this humid post-rain feeling and nervous passion. If you think of songs as being like a snapshot of a person in the middle of some kind of emotional experience, I get a very good sense of who this is and what’s going on from this piece.
