How good is this new song from veteran indie rocker Paleo. Well, first ask yourself how many songwriters use the second line of every verse as an additional hook? Paleo. does. After a coupla spins (spins! who spins?) you keep going back again for the “you’re not that…” qualifier.
Plus a lo tech aesthetic, the tinniest flute you’ve heard, and (have you ever noticed how badly I suck at describing voices?), a melodic scrape of a vocal all nasal and cool and back up chicks on a word here and there.
Paleo has been around for awhile, playing, recording and releasing all his own music so the news he has signed to Partisan records probably explains why I’ve finally heard of him.
