Straw Man by Mother Sun is an upbeat, yet decidedly chill (and cool) sort of surf punkish rock ballad with a folk rock heart. After the gospel organ beginning, the lead lines and guitar upswings frame a self effacing vocal performance that feels self assured, cool and friendly. I like the grit at the back of the throat when he wails and the musical break with the dramatic downbeats. This track makes me think of 4 footers lined up at San Clemente.
Sweet.
Straw Man is from the upcoming record "Caramel Clouds."
