broken skylight and the indie rock distillation of "In Time" is wonderful











"it's gonna take a little time"


I don't know much about Broken Skylight except that this project is based out of Providence, Rhode Island and that the creative participants might be a one, Nick Fanuele and a one, Mister Frizzle. The most important thing I know about BS is that their track, "In Time", is a wonderful piece of music that feels like a journey. One that has garden rock tones imbued with the kinds of sounds you might of heard on College rock stations in the 90's. There are bending notes with a fine hint of country rock, there is a jammy nature and a vocal aesthetic that is as pretty as it is wistful. This all encompassing rock indie atmosphere that contains dreams, love, love lost and longing made me think of a bit of R.E.M, Death Cab for Cutie, Tom Petty and The Shins or a distillation of all those, in a way, but moreover all of Broken Skylight who, again, I know very little about. It doesn't matter, I just hope they put out a lot more music.

THE FACTS AS WE KNOW THEM - PRESS NOTES:


After years of existing in an embryonic state on Nick Fanuele’s google drive in the form of sparse melancholic chord progressions, broken skylight’s chord progressions’ have recently been birthed into songs that have a more human touch. Joined by the lineup of Mister Frizzle, BS’s songs keep a melancholic feel with a new melodic sound
