[We’re proud to welcome a new writer to the fold. You’ve probably heard Matty P on Ball of Wax and/or seen him on stage at a BoW release show, whether as a member of the Foghorns Bucket o’ Bourbon Choir or singing his own songs under the Karaoke Hottiez moniker. He’s graciously volunteered to lend his wordsmithing skills to the Blog of Wax, and we’re happy to have him. Welcome Matty!]
Floating up like the effervescence in the glass bottle of a sparkling mineral water. Fine sounds crisp and clear coming together like baby angels singing in a little tree house cathedral. This all-vocal song by Swooning follows a melody and lyrics which harken back to the simplicity of an early sixties pop radio hit. the singers sound off in a childlike manner that is reminiscent of Andrea Estrella from the short lived Brooklyn project, Twin Sister, although Swooning has an edge and direction all its own. The diction and phrasing in “Sun and the Moon” goes back and forth from predictably pleasing to the ear to playfully keeping the listener on edge and pleasantly surprised.
Catch Swooning live at the Ball of Wax 44 release show on Saturday, June 11th!
