"dancing in the middle of Texas..."
The slow but pervasive power of "Mist of the Teal Mara" by The Lunar Year, the musical moniker of Philadelphia based musician Katie Hackett, with it's slow motion waltz and trippy psych rock adornments feels surreal and beautiful. Katie's wide eyed vocal aesthetic, telling stories (with lyrics that make you turn your head) pulls you into this fray with her curious cajoles, "this is the one crying all four hands, gravestones plotted in the thistle, cat dream killed by sunshine...".
Katie shares:
"A dream sequence guided by the Teal Mara, a sleep demon. This is the first single of my newest album and an introduction to the new Lunar Year universe"
The dream ends quickly though, so fast on a fierce declaration. The way it ends and the dreamy surreal sound makes it sound like the theme song to an upcoming Netflix or Hulu binger. If only.
