It’s happened yet again, just as I was about to give up on my inbox, I got to this gem from Our Husband, the project of Aussies Nathaniel Morse and Freya Adele. The song is called “Villages” and it is now playing for the fifth time in a row. I think what I like most about this song is the way it builds up its layers, each more beautiful than the last. It starts out with the main guitar riff, then in comes Nathaniel’s powerful voice, followed by an even more soothing guitar, only to be topped by Freya’s beaming wordless chorus that’s welcoming despite coming out of nowhere. And while reverb is often totally overused for dramatic effect, in this case, it’s just the right amount to add to the song without trying to cover up any impurities.
