The acoustics are motifs that flow in a loop. With vocals reinforcing that pattern, the song is designed to pull the listener into a drawl, into its dazing, cozy embrace. Moments of stark clarity forms and disperses with each verse. It is reminiscent of artists Nick Drake, Bob Dylan, and Leonard Cohen. There is familiarity but also a depth that you can explore and unearth. Electric guitar pools are nestled in between the tracks, brief and transient yet an astounding peak that you melt into.
