Aldous's music is always so minimal yet so rich

[@pippinholland6371]

the moment at 1:58 looks like kate bush ! love !

[@davidswinnerton4386]

Apparently weird, but entirely relatable. The vibe reminds me of John Cale's genius album Paris 1919. I hope Aldous feels suitably proud of her work. Clearly a good woman who wishes to share stories. Much the point of music. Bless you, Aldous.

[@myradioon]

Good call on John Cale sounding. I also hear Cate LeBon in her music. Great artist.

[@LaughingStock_]

Comparing is something I am actively trying to avoid as I believe it denigrates the comparee. However - you are right, it does have a Paris 1919 vibe, though this particular track doesn't, in fairness, approach the might of that LP. However, Aldous does have the talent and attitude that Cale could not sneer at.

I first heard this driving out of a hotel in Frisco, Texas last spring - great track. I’m not going to divulge that I was a 51-year old - just average- white collar sales manager - who pulled over on a warm March day to scribble down the name of the artist and song. Some fun comments here. 10-months on - nice to revisit and feel this tune and sentiment, once again. “ …. FeeVA… “
