“Feeling” b/w “Wear It On Your Sleeve”

scums stats: lathe-cut limited edition of 25 copies

Just arrived in the mail today, straight from the artist himself and I am stoked.

“Feeling” has been stuck in my head for quite some time. Months. Sounding so familiar, so true, as if it has always just been there.

The string section arrangement, whether that’s real instruments or keyboard midi or what…it’s so beautifully evocative. Quite reminiscent of the work Jean-Claude Vannier did for Serge Gainsbourg. Lush and NOT in the same way as that fancy soap store at the mall.

“Feeling” is also the impetus of a new playlist I’ve been compiling titled “Songs to Use If I Ever Have to Make a Movie” so yes, I feel like it has cinematic sweeps to it. Dramatically. The kind of sounds that will really convey…feeling. As if there’s something special going on here, that I can’t exactly put my finger on as to WHY it is so, but is is so very…so.

Apparently these lathe-cuts were only sold at a show a few months back here in Nashville and life prevented me from showing up. Recent connecting with Rollingchild (his mom knows him as Michael Bostinto) had him dig up a spare copy for me. I’m lucky. This shit isn’t even on Discogs (I’ll fix that shortly).

Also included in that package is an LP copy of his new album, “Post Party Depression” which I already bought a copy of, so I pass the savings on to you.

Post a comment below, just make it something interesting. WITH FEELING. The best comment by January 17th, as determined solely by me, will get this still-sealed slab of wax mailed directly to the address of their choosing.
