The Dead Trees - World Gone Global

Favorite lyrics: How did the world become your ashtray? / Didn't think I had no feelings, well I do, somewhere.

World Gone Global has an underlying beach pop tone. Like a male-fronted-version of When We Swam by Thao + the Get Down Stay Down, it uses a light, wavy sound and monotonous but lyrical vocals that sound brilliantly like a good-voiced conversation. The lyrics in this one aren't nearly as happy as the beat, but it's refreshingly unique because of that. Sad songs are usually filled with slow chords and non-choreographed voices, but this one is matched with something that dances with the grief that the lyrics might bring. It makes you unsure of what emotion you should feel, so it kind of ends up being a bottle of something sand-filled and slightly citrus-y in your stomach.
