Reading Rainbow “Always On My Mind”

It wasn’t too much of a shock to find out the two members of this band are a married couple — they sing with each other like people in love. “Always On My Mind” is about struggling with a long-distance relationship, and missing someone very badly and hating every moment of being apart. Given that this is a married couple who are also an indie rock duo, I imagine this means they are singing about their ultimate nightmare. The song itself is a brilliant, elegantly constructed, extremely catchy indie-pop gem. It’s a bit lo-fi, but its charms come from its old-fashioned hooks, not an affected haziness. In a field overcrowded with lo-fi indie rock, this stands out as a keeper.

Buy it from Hozac Records.
