Earlier this week, Dennis shared a 50 song (4LP) record. That’s insane – not by Dennis but by the artist. For a blog trying to strike a balance between sharing as much great new music as possible but also spending sufficient time with said music, a record of that size is close to a nightmare. Here’s one that is more like a dream: Always by Emily Jane Powers. Listening to the record will take less than 13 minutes and you get 10 songs in the time spent. That’s great! Even better, Always is a treat to the ears. Inspired by the songwriting of Tony Molina, the spontaneity and straightforward nature of Always works really well. There is a natural flow to the songs, which are meant to be experienced in sequence and in one sitting.
Expect short and sweet upbeat indie rock songs which Powers infuses with ’60s girl group melodies. It’s hard to beat the feeling of stumbling on songs like I Don’t Miss You Much When You’re Around, I’d Love You More (If Only You Want Me), Will You Call Me Over and I Changed My Mind. Always is out on Tape in a small run of 50 pink cassettes with handmade artwork, most of which are sold already.
