Ball of Wax 46 Songs: Darryl Blood – Flavor of the Day

Our old friend Darryl Blood has been getting quite avant garde with his Ball of Wax submissions of late. While I’ve sincerely enjoyed his experiments with heavily processed vocals, re-edited cellos, and spacey ambience, it’s also always a pleasure to hear what I know him best for:  a snappy, sardonic, perfectly-put-together song. “Flavor of the Day” bounces along with an upbeat country vibe, backing up the barbs and ruminations Darryl delivers in his pleasingly raspy voice. I welcome all past, present, and future artistic incarnations of Darryl Blood, and I’m happy to know that the avant weirdo can exist at the same time as the singer-songwriter. More along these lines will likely be heard on his forthcoming album Arden Eevin, Vol. 2.
