Silent Treatment – The Joy Formidable
Some songs are built to pluck every single string in my heart. A pretty double-tracked female voice, backed by a delicate acoustic pluck, rising up and then falling around a single note…yeah, there was no way I wasn’t going to love this song.
It’s a little strange that, on a very good album (Wolf’s Law) defined primarily by its crazy loudness, this quiet little interlude is my favorite song. But, then again, it’s not really absurd at all. That’s precisely the sort of thing that I can’t resist.
