my favorite boxer is the solo project by Eugene, Oregon-based singer-songwriter Samuel Raymond Smith, I guess named after that song from of Montreal. His new album Scrimpage, the successor to last September’s vera, consists of nine original DIY tracks that are as lo-fi and wobbly – recorded on a vintage Toa MR8T cassette recorder – as they are authentic and intriguing. You can call it slacker rock or twee pop or indie folk – all kind of true – but without knowing exactly why, these jangly tunes and off-centre lyrics will keep running through your head.
Scrimpage, written/performed/recorded by Sam R. Smith, is out now digitally and on CD (self-released).
