"Was there something / That I woke for on this day / And I traveled all this way / I see it now / I see it now..."
A vast departure from Gogol Bordello's gypsy punk drunken revelry that Boris Pelekh swims in, as their guitarist, the title track "I See It Now" from his debut solo EP that dropped today (June 24th) feels exquisitely tender. Boris possesses a vocal aesthetic that is at once beautifully somber but graced with a stark whimsy. Held up only by somber pretty chord shapes, the duo of guitar and voice is gracefully perfect, both quietly powerful and endearing.
Beautiful stuff, truly and in the back of my brain (although Boris' voice is utterly unique) I thought of Elliot Smith and Brian Aubert and even early Paul Simon in terms of vocal temperament.
