Noah’s Daily Choice: The Daredevil Christopher Wright - The East Coast
There are three very important points I will now address, that will most certainly sway you in to feeling as estatic about the new song by The Daredevil Christopher Wright’s new single “The East Coast”. If they do not sway you, you are most likely some form of carbon-synthetic robot sleeper agent, and everyone knows how your music taste is. Thank you, come again.
1. Their new album, including this single, is mixed by none other than Justin Vernon i.e. Bon Iver. This is the man behind For Emma, Forever Ago, I would follow his music in to a cold, Wisconsin bear-trap and die a happy man.
2. It was recommened to/fousted upon me by Amble Down Management guru Kyle Frenette. Mr. Frenette was the first to expose me to Cranes and Crows, The Wars of 1812, and The Gentle Guests. His label, also trickily named Amble Down, continues to release the best that Northern Midwest has to offer, which seemingly is quite a bit of amazing music. I would not follow Kyle in to a cold, Wisconsin bear trap, but I would certainly buy him several cheap beers.
3. It is an amazing song. I don’t want to refer to it as “medieval” because then you of the wild imaginations would start fantasizing about hammered dulcimers and harps and that would just be a disappointment. But there is certainly something “medieval” about it, in the sense that “Scarbourough Fair” is slightly “medieval”. Perhaps it’s the gentle horse-clop sound, or the breakdown highlighted by the three part harmony and flute-play, but I can’t shake the image of a group of colorfully bedecked troubadours sittin’ round a campfire, telling tales and playing to their hearts’ content.
Sadly, this super talented group has a full album (In Deference To A Broken Back) in the wings, just waiting for that eager, on-the-ball record label to swoop them up.
