about

Week 5: The Year of Living Backwards

Hi everyone. Week 5's song is called The Year of Living Backwards. We wrote it for a friend's wedding, but it's not really a wedding song (because what would that be, really?). That instrument that you hear at the start of the song is an old Gibson tenor guitar that sat in the closet for years until we figured out what kind of strings it needed. Then this song appeared.

about

The Invisible Cities image

The Invisible Cities San Francisco, California

We play loud and soft, guitar-y and loopy, dreamy and dancy, and tend to shift gears from song to song. Among other things, we are fans of The Breeders, Yo La Tengo, and the sprawl of the white album. And The Expanse.

The wonderful shape of things! This attacks my senses in all the good ways: Catchy melody - Check! Surprising still - Check! No simple straightforward 4 beat - Check! A music that growls and weeps - Check! Ahhh.... this is so guuuuuud! Kristinn Kristinsson
