I've done a bad job recently of keeping up with the releases from
Totally Real Records. I'm a big fan of their diverse offerings, I've just slipped on staying on top of everything emerging from the label.
As luck would have it, I
did tune in for
Well The Night Has Come , the latest EP by
Fulton Lights. The four songs are a fascinating combination of intimate mid-tempo ruminations blended with flourishes of dark vibes. The vibe exuding from this is a great companion to the impending colder, quieter, months. Truthfully, music in this style can often by overwrought, too self-involved and a little boring in terms of arrangements but every track avoids those pitfalls. The musical choices are compelling and diverse and, while introspective, it's still a delight to listen to.
Other random observations: I can't comprehend why the cassette for this is only $4. That seems impossible. Additionally, the artwork by
Austin Stahl is... a perfect match.
Note to self: do better keeping up with TRR!
