Ball of Wax 69 Songs: The Disillusionments – “The Artesian Whale”

The mood of this song is like being out in the desert in the early spring of a year when all the flowers bloom. You’re definitely wearing a cowboy hat, and you look really good in it. You’re also on just the right (small) dose of psilocybin. The guitar hook carries you through, and the vocals are dreamy and just off in the distance enough that you can’t tell if they are saying something or not. I wanted to email Tyler and Marc (BLAKE|MANNING aka The Disillusionments) and ask them, but then I figured it was better left a mystery.
