One of
the first lines I hear on this dream pop gem is about a “shadow of my shadow”
and it makes me contemplate whether or not a shadow can have a shadow of its
own. It seems like a shadow shouldn’t
be able to have its own shadow because it is a shadow, but then I think about
reflections and how you can stare into two different mirrors for what feels
like eternity.
For
some reason, this cassette also then brings out some memories of an old cartoon
show where the character and his shadow separate and they have to reunite by
the end. If I was in the business of
making music videos, I’d do something like that for this particular song. #shelbyhohl
The
cello on these songs give them a sort of drone background, but also manages to
give them that slow, deep and brooding sort of sound that I can only really
relate to a band like Murder by Death.
Though in all fairness to both bands, sink/sink does not have the gloom
factor that Murder by Death does, which I am okay with on both sides.
There
are ambient qualities to this cassette and it can feel like Portishead at times
as well, sure, but this is really just this great sound that comes along the
likes of other dream pop bands. It’s
not the same as them, but is it immensely enjoyable.
