Drank It Down

This song by Kat Burns and Forest City Lovers starts off um, kinda polka (Tejano?).

Kat Burns whispers breathily like women in Gregory Peck movies once did. The band is charmingly just a hair off-beat, calling to mind a school dance.

Born Ruffians' Luke Lalond chimes in and now we've got full blown Romance. All these ingredients would seem to add up to a syrupy song, and it certainly comes close to stepping over that sticky line. Thankfully, there's a slight grittiness to Lalond's harmony and Forest City Lovers know when to shut it down, which is to say, way too soon. (Thanks to swedesplease and iheartmusic.)

Carriage, FCL's new album is out now. Forest City Lovers Pocketful of Rocks mp3 was here.
