Big Music Challenge: ExDetectives' "Chase It Away"

ExDetectives "Chase It Away"

Rating: 4 stars

Holy shit. Aside from the fact that "Chase It Away" is a beautiful dreamscape of a song, sailing high on ethereal vocals and delicate guitar, it's the work of one man: Faris McReynolds. Even crazier, ExDetectives close out 2012 with four full-length albums being released in that year alone. "Chase It Away" has McReynolds flexing his lo-fi muscles, making a bedroom recording worthy of those scant conscious moments before you drift off to sleep. When the final, breathy vocals slow their slight vibrato to close the track it's a sweet release indeed.
