Track Of The Day MILD SEASON
We missed, and definitively worth a recovery, last September’s single “Drive Your Car” by the Toronto-based visual artist, musician and composer Sunny Elsom under her nom de plume Mild Season.
Through a wispy, spectral and contemplative approach to the songwriting, her last and seemingly only second track floats featherweight, daydreamy and sad between the most stripped-down and atmospheric strands of shoegaze, dream pop and slowcore, draped by melted vocalizations.
The song is about a know-it-all phantom taunting another with threats of destruction.
Like a lonely metronome, soft tinny shakes lilt fragile melancholic vocals slinking with a misty breeze of gossamer, reverb-drenched textures, layered with gleamy shivering filigrees of echoing, endless desolation, to radiate in achingly lulling siren wisps through a dimly lit haze of feeble distortions.
