"it's not easy learning how to crawl when all you do is fall..."
There is such a beautiful bounce and sway on Edward Phillip's dreamy, yet somewhat upside down "Precious Few". The double time guitar lines, amber colored synth lines and Phillip's or Edward's acerbic lyrics (Edward Phillips is the musical project of Phil Edwards) paints a picture of maybe not making the right choices, of being stuck on a carousel that we can't off of, of maybe not grasping the gold rings that fly by repeatedly because we don't feel like we deserve it. I don't know, I could be projecting (of course) but loving the sounds this man makes, a blend of melancholia and resolve pushed in a bedroom pop-esque lo-fi way.
