AOTW #9: The Grower
aka Thank God for Coffee and Apple Pie
Genre: Indie Folk
release date: 1/15
10. that’s how many weeks there has been in 2021. 8. That’s where I’m at for my AOTW. Not too shabby actually, but time to get back on it. I have two slots to fill. Which makes me anxious. Makes it difficult to sleep at night. So thank God for coffee and apple pie. The kind you get at downhome, but beatnik, coffee shops off the interstate. One of the one’s run by some old hippie and without Trump flags waving every which where. The kind that when you leave, you’re not just filled up with gas and food and pinetree air freshners (although I love those tacky things!) but a bit more of you. That you’ve been heard. Acknowledged. That you connected just a bit to a random place at random point on your random road to somewhere. And that’s what’s good road tripping is all about!

Glad she's liking it! I think it's a solid record. Plenty of fun, and some great melodies. Might even be better than any twee record I heard in 2020. Not sure why the BEA rating is so low. Singapore's twee scene has been really strong the last few years. Sobs, Aspidistrafly, Cosmic Child, and Subsonic Eye have all released records I'd recommend with ease. (Subsonic Eye's 2017 effort isn't as good as this new record, but it's worth a spin— the real gem of the scene is Sobs' Telltale Signs though, that's a fantastic record).
