The Fresh and Onlys :: "Waterfalls"

Shambling and mournful, the Fresh and Onlys' newest single "Waterfalls" explores the Western edge of the indie rock frontier. Heart-broken bass lines roam in time with ethereal backing vocals and lyrics that hearken back to a bygone era. We are left to assume the urges of the chorus, for us to "fall with me into the water," are directed patently at this reversal of the passage of time. As we tumble over the top, assuming this means backwards now, the final guitar obbligatos become wistful, remembered and lost.
