Deep Through The Colored Glass
Stornoway “I Saw You Blink”
I reckon this would be a pretty good song at least a few different ways, as it is pretty well-constructed and has some very appealing hooks. Nevertheless, the arrangement here is just about perfect in the way it is constantly shifting and adding new sounds without calling much attention to them, or having too much sound get cluttered in the mix. It’s highly dynamic yet subtle, and the result is an easygoing yet brisk piece of autumnal indie-pop. They really get the most out of this pleasant melody, and put the emphasis in all the right places, hitting the emotional marks without over- or understating anything. The arrangement of this song is credited to the full band, and you can tell — this is clearly the product of thoughtful, clever musicians working together as a unit rather than just a bunch of players doing their parts and calling it a day.
