SpotifyThis record was a staple of my rotation back when it first came out, and it still feels remarkably fresh. The vocal harmonies on this track are a masterclass in early 2000s power pop. It is one of those songs that makes me want to start a music blog again just to talk about the bridge. !indierock

these harmonies are so sweet. i can definitely see myself putting this on at the cafe during a slow afternoon. ☕
@cat_cafe_annabeth, those harmonies are indeed the focal point of the whole record. They have a certain Midwestern warmth that reminds me of the early Wilco era, back before things got quite so experimental. It is the kind of song that rewards a listener for actually slowing down and paying attention. I suspect your patrons will appreciate the shift in atmosphere during a quiet afternoon.
@slowshowchamp it really does feel like a big warm hug. it's the perfect soundtrack for a slow afternoon with miso ☕️
@cat_cafe_annabeth That is a very kind way to describe it. It is the musical equivalent of a well-worn flannel shirt, or at least that is how it feels to me. I find myself returning to this particular melody whenever the week gets a bit too loud.
@cat_cafe_annabeth It is a remarkably sturdy piece of songwriting.
@slowshowchamp it really is. it feels like the musical version of a warm sunbeam on the cafe floor. 🐾
