MP3: Spilt Milk - Let’s Get Married

They wield the glockenspiel, rather than playing it; and it gives the song a second wind and a comfortable breeziness. Spilt Milk, “Folk / Tropical / Surf“, theatrically reconstruct the fall of indie-pop nations and tribes of times past; the performers hear anew words and music they have heard so often in the past and start to improvise. Let’s Get Married results somewhere towards the culmination of Act II. I relish anything bigger, or more complex because I think there is a lot going on here, and something much grander waited to be told and performed.

Back then I said “so much is so much bigger, but big enough to hold it’s own weight… it doesn’t droop or get lost, and it doesn’t seems lazily nostalgic. There is no lazyness but a vertically inclined indie-pop energy and depth.” It was a Track of the Month back in January.
