I actually heard this song (Marim) first. But there’s no video or live performance of it yet, so I looked for something else by this guy, Roger Sellers. Turns out his style is pretty broad and beautiful (like I like my... Adele?)
Anyway, that first song, it’s electronic, it’s rhythmic, it’s circular. It reminded me of Philip Glass and Animal Collective. Very much my scene. But this song is nothing like it. It’s just a damn good folk song. Reminded me of the finger-picking on “Never Going Back Again” by Fleetwood Mac. But his voice is so light. I get the feeling this is the kind of guy you’d want on your spontaneous cross-country road trip. It could also just be that he’s singing this song on a tour bus...
