Hi,
I listened to this song 3-4 times.
So much to like about this song….
This may sound ridiculous but the first thing that struck me was the quality of the restrained kick drum. Just perfect for driving the track along almost without you realising it.
The guitar work is delicious both the acoustic and the electric.
The synth pads, predominately on the left side are spot on for the atmospherics.
Vocally, the tone reminded of an exotic combination of Bernard Sumner and Dr. Robert!
Lyrics kept me fully engaged. I love it when I have to look words up to find their meaning (Mobious Strip), particularly when that results then I find extra meaning in the song! I even found the guitars ascending and returning in a similar way to Eschers painting! (Maybe not intentional but the imagery was already in my head)
I have just one extremely nit-picky observation;
1. The backing vocals at 2:23 are just ever so slightly out of sync with the lead vocal. It’s possibly a trivial thing but, it did stand out, in what is otherwise, for me, a flawless track.
Thanks for letting me listen to your music.
Paul.
