I was thumbing through Sam Knee’s insanely fun book on The Indie Underground and came across this washed-out looking band called 28th Day and decided to give them a listen.
Instantly I was sucked in by “Pages Turn” specifically the Alternate Take.
It felt like everything I’ve ever loved about indie/alternative music. Heartfelt, angsty, energetic, maybe a little sloppy, but impossible to replicate. Barbara Manning’s voice comes through clear and cuts across the fuzzy music, synching up in a moody and beautifully put together alt rock tune that wears its heart on its sleeve.
I love music that feels attainable, its uncomplicated, unfussy, but absolutely brilliant in its simplicity and earnestness.
Thanks for listening,
Will
