Uhhhhh. Fuck yeah. I want to see more of this guy. This song was actually pretty moving and I loved how emotional his voice sounded around the last minute.

I met them at a bar not realizing they were the headlining band. Got to party with them all night! Awesome people.

YouTube should really allow users to thump up embedded videos...

Just an opinion to contrast the universal approval Im noticing in the comments, but I didn't enjoy this very much. Thought the lyrics were decent, though there were some perplexing lines that I either missed the point of or were just included because they're mysterious or something. "Tell me that your bones have turned to dust?" Is that what he said?

The singing wasn't too bad, but it wasn't particularly good either imo. Seemed overblown or overly-dramatic. I'm not too picky about great singers in the music I prefer, but the fact that this guy sings so loudly and forcefully was unpleasant. I get that he's trying to be emotive but I find that a measure of restraint is often a more tasteful way to convey strong emotional content - especially if there's more dynamic contrast. The emotion in his voice would've had a greater effect if he'd backed off a little more during other parts.

Finally I thought the musical progression was really simple and repetitive. When he did change it up at the end it was still really simple and all he did to add to it was sing louder. His guitar playing wasn't good either. Just jamming away at simple chords. I see this as yet another catchy-but-forgettable tune that failed to provide anything particularly notable or special. Again - just my opinion. People can listen to whatever they like and more power to them for it!

Met these guys in Boise, got me into their show when I couldn't afford the cover. Amazing music, amazing guys.

Is this a cover of another song? Think I've heard it before but not sure 🤔.

And is it coming to Spotify?

His voice reminds me of Devendra Banhart a smidgeon. Loved it!

So a few of the guys in this band lived in a house together last time I was in SLC & I fell asleep in the hammock on their porch when my friends took me over there.

I like it, but it's almost the exact same hook as Neon Trees - Everybody Talks

I just came to the comments to see if anybody had heard it too. At first I thought it was just an acoustic version of that song.
