Oh wow, I like this one Matt. I think it's the modal interchange part that I'm digging so much, though I'm not sure I know enough about music theory to say for sure. I tend to call it dissonance, but I'm probably wrong. Whatever it is, I think I hear it too in Adrienne Lenker's song, "Ruined," which you may well enjoy. (And too "Promise" by Ben Howard, for different reasons.)

Thank you Tom тАФ yes, you're probably picking up on some dissonance. Great catch. Like, "hey, that doesn't sound quiiiiiite right, but I like it?" I love Adrienne Lenker, and that song is fantastic тАФ I hear a lot of distortion in that song, sort of wobbly little bits and bobs that dip in and out of the key, making things feel unsettled. Anyway, always appreciate you making time to listen. Thank you!
