starting this with one of my favorite emerging bands, philadelphia indie folk-rock band, hop along.
i first heard this song on the radio segment of the podcast “welcome to night vale” roughly a year and a half ago, and looked up the band the second the last note rang out. i’ve been entranced by the dynamically killer voice of frances quinlan ever since.
this song comes from their 2015 album, painted shut, which got me through a lot of difficult experiences the past year. though this song is one of the slower ones in the album, it’s also the most vulnerable. both moving and haunting, each line is jam-packed with emotion, delivered simultaneously through gut-punching, guttural cries and piercingly soft whispers.
so give this song, and the rest of the album, a listen! (and watch out for the release of hop along’s newest album, bark your head off dog, coming out this week!!!)
