Ball of Wax 33 Songs: Whales/The Magic of Multiples – “Break Into My House”

Alexander Drum of Whales/The Magic of Multiples made himself a Ball of Wax regular pretty quickly, and for that I am grateful; it’s always a pleasure hearing whatever he’s been working on. He seems to be quite prolific, and while his songs usually give the impression of spontaneity and perhaps having been written and recorded quickly, they never feel tossed off or half-assed. The blend of voices and instruments here, the gradual build over a couple repeated chords,  is simple but quite satisfying.
