35 / half of 70 is one of two singles
lacona put out in anticipation of their upcoming pantomime
album, each one tackling a different aspect of the band's sound. the
a-side, "president's day", is a lush and fragmented country-ish
folk-pop song with a nice, dusty farm sort of appeal. think akron
family, shearwater, and l'altra all mangled
together, lovingly assembled with some ear-pleasing horns. the b-side,
"wet snow," is the more accessible of the two songs - it meanders in a
nice acoustic guitar / strings vein for the first two thirds before
bursting into a extremely catchy, warm pop mood. overall, this is a
solid single - a little taste like this makes their upcoming album
seem quite enticing.
