A Nottingham band that’s difficult to pigeonhole: across 12 tracks they mix country, pop, indie-rock and folk in a way that makes comparisons tricky. Live, it can sometimes feel like four different bands all playing at the same time. And yet, it works. 🎯 There's also a lovely little B to D chord slide in here that reminds me almost instantly of the sort of changes Elliott Smith would routinely throw into his songs that made me crush out on it right away.

Obsessive with this song at the moment, I can’t get it out of my head, they’ve laced this song with something.
It’s like if Michael Stipe of REM fronted Slowdive and told them how to write indie pop melodies with their silly guitar pedals.
Listening through some more of their stuff after finding them through instagram earlier this week but this track will not escape any singular judgement I have on their other tracks- they’re all comparable to how this song makes me feel and therefore cannot champion it.

If Lake Street Dive were a boy band, you’d get Stolen Gin. I love the variety in composition, it feels like real music.

🛣not exactly a sleeper but I think this song has some complexity and depth in its sound and timbre that I really enjoy
the guitar section and drums really shine for me with the fills they add, the vocals are easy to sing along with and they carry a wealth of emotion that I love and makes me cry (need to work on the run-on sentences jesus christ)

The man responsible for dozens of Teenage Symphonies to God
"Sad songs about happy things" (the first time, as a kid, I can recall the sweet/sour combo of melodies that could make you cry attached to songs about endless, bottomless love)
I've long since lost track of how many weddings and funerals I've attended that have featured this song; suffice it to say, "a lot."
God only knows what we'd been without him 🙏🏻

Hey tyler hopefully this doesn’t violate some PI.FYI golden rule
But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here:
https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/
The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s. Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha). For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I can’t wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! ❤️
