Low Hummer “Talk Shows”

Aimee Duncan’s vocal delivery on the verses of “Talk Shows” is very wry and a little bit cute, she sounds as though she hasn’t quite decided whether she’s telling someone they’re a loser or if she’s just flirting with them. Both, I guess? The verses shift gears into something closer to a breakup song, but one stuck in a frustrated stalemate state in which neither party has walked out just yet. The music conveys a lot of complementary energy – some nervous tension in the groove, a light and playful tone in the guitar. The overall mood of the song is basically “hey, we both know we’re stuck in purgatory and it mostly sucks, but we can figure out how to have some fun here.”
