Walter Mitty and His Makeshift Orchestra- Well Soon
The relatively unknown Walter Mitty and His Makeshift Orchestra make lo-fi indie folk tunes, with low production costs, seemingly recorded in a basement or a garage. The music however is wonderfully written and the album Well Soon flows from start to finish like few I’ve heard before. The lyrics are incredibly strong and capture the struggles of twenty somethings everywhere, just trying to work their way through the puzzle of life. The lyrics are relatable but have a subtle complexity to them at the same time. So If you’re not really sure where your headed in life and you are sort of just floating along this record unfortunately won’t actually provide you with any answers. What it will do however, is at least make you feel as if you’re not on your own and sometimes that is enough. Lyric Highlights
