A Country Western – “I Found”

Philadelphia’s A Country Western slow things down with their latest single, “I Found.” The group’s signature alternative indie rock sound is distilled into something more akin to slowcore on this track, showcasing even more of their range and offering a glimpse of what to expect on the upcoming album, Audition Tape. The B-side, “Blood Eagle,” marks a return to the noisier, melodic, guitar-driven sound that the band is known for.

I’m really into the idea of recognizing a good chord progression or riff and sticking to it for a whole song – understanding when you’ve got something that can last. The verse progression felt mellow and soothing when I listened to it for long periods of time on repeat. The programmed drums emphasize the repetition of the chords, and so do the matching lyrics Paris and I sing, like we’re vowing the same thing. 

The way Paris sang allowed me to add spaces between their syllables. When I cut a syllable I re-pasted that shit more times than one and it panned out.
