MP3: Holland Buffalo - Optimistic
(Place, 4:19mins, 128 kbps)

And eyeing the cosmos… the stars the same each night… and I am the cosmos… and all the stars pay them no mind.

The Harvey Girls, a couple of American musicians, play with texture, fire, and pop music. I’ve loved their work in the past. They’ve recently been making music with label buddy Feedle. Whereas The Harvey Girls are all big smiles and bear hugs, Feedle takes the scenic route without telling anyone, music that doesn’t look you in the eye until final scene - even then you might not realise. But this Sheffield, UK based musician still throbs with a passion, and has an electronic simplicity and distance.

Together, it gets a little more complicated. Feedle provides depth, noise and a landscape of infinite, technicolour possibility to “Optimistic”. The Harvey Girls encourage the song along and they watch it grow. The Harvey Girls tell you to be small, find someone and live, Feedle says be intricate and appreciative. Together they sing a song of optimistism and minute cosmic drift.
