Tractor
Kings - Sunday
Night
Cosmic Americana debut from Champaign-Urbana
duo on Parasol's Mud Records imprint. Songwriter Jacob Fleischli's
overcast Dylan-esque vocals ride the swells of gracefully strummed
acoustic guitars, a nearly religious lap steel, provoking psychedelic
electric guitar flourishes, a spectral casio, folky mandolin and
eerie fiddle, haunting harmonies and drummer Rebecca Rury's rolling
tom-toms, sizzling cymbals and tambourines. Drawling, poetic pop
songs that waltz amidst luscious early-4AD atmospherics and a goosebump-inducing
New Zealand-ish droning. Like the cover art suggests, there's a
bit of "rural cathedral" (a genre I may have just invented)
in the sounds you find on 'Sunday Night'. These are the dark, mystical
tales of addiction, of loves lost and won, of death and the path
towards it.
