GENRE: country 
Well, we were bound to come across something more stereotypical of rednecks as we journey through the canon of country music. But, this piece is quite the kicker. You've got wicked guitar work on par with any guitar virtuoso. You've got the heavy accent of Jerry Reed. And last but not least, you've got a rant against growing technology. I wonder if you could see it as a satire nowadays. It's fun nonetheless to sing along with! I want to meet the drummer that played on this, because he's surely having quite a ball too. The lyrics are quite a hoot too. He sings pretty fast so, tune up your ears and keep up. It's not quite exactly my type of country song, but he's definitely a character and has a talent for lyrics!

GENRE: electronic I regarded FKA Twigs  as a more experimental electronic, modern artist. Today's song feels quite grounded in conventional techniques. Nothing stands out to me as groundbreaking or pushing the boundaries of the genre. I did not expect someone else to be featured on this album either. Unfortunately it doesn't add up to much on the album. In the best case scenario, it adds to the already plain and monotonous sound. Rating: 4/10

Day 309: White Gloves by Khruangbin // 5

GENRE: indie I can't quite my finger on why I find this three-piece so alluring. They've got a style to them that evokes a carefree sensibility. That much can be seen in their song, White Gloves . Apparently it's part their first album to feature vocals, and it's a welcome addition to the canvas. No one instrument stands out any farther and more unique than the others. Each instrument is featured and mixed pretty evenly, giving me a sense of noiselessness and soothing comfort. However, I think part of that plays against their favor. It plays more like a lo-fi ditty than a fully realized song. At about 3 and a half minutes, I would expect a bit more to be fleshed out. Rating: 5/10
