Ball of Wax 58 Songs: Small Life Form – “Charlie Brown”

If our previous track was the peaceful aftermath of a heavy snow, Small Life Form‘s “Charlie Brown” is a swirling blizzard of sound. The raw material from which this storm was summoned is none other than the holiday musical wizardry of Vince Guaraldi, but in the hands – and through the chain of effects pedals – of Small Life Form it is transformed from something nostalgic and wholesome to a darkly menacing sonic mass. You may never hear “Christmastime Is Here” the same way again.
