stevenwardjames “An Alcove”

Taking a big bite of whatever Jim O’Rourke and Animal Collective seem to be feeding him, swj creates a lovely pastoral concoction here, full of sensitive, burbling acoustic fingerpicking and mellifluous melodica. “An Alcove” is not so much one song but rather two, glued together by silence, re-emerging with understated percussion, off-kilter, hushed backup vocals and percolating electronic flourishes.
