Kathryn Calder - Arrow



Link.

Favorite lyrics: Fire away, I'm still here in phantom wings

Arrow is a very dreamlike story, almost like an Alice in Wonderland song dipped in sharp-toned lyrics and piano keys. The noise in the background is very much like a river, and there's a strong Agnes Obel sound to Kathryn Calder's voice, which makes her automatically likable. There's also a kind of historical folk fable idea behind the song, but it has a very high radio pitch. There's something unique about it that's just on the edge of original, but it's still earthly; it doesn't exceed the depths of music, but it circles around something primordial.

Glitter Pox rating: 66% contagious. It's a slow burn.

Hope you catch it,
The Glitter Pox
