Welcome back, world! After a weekend gone missing, I return with a lovely indie song for you to listen to. In nearly two and a half minutes, Austrian-Spanish-Italian-and-Belgian band Lonely Drifter Karen grabs your attention with a subdued ditty. Requesting the title "roof somewhere" with quick piano chords tapping in the background, this proves that there is more to the indie genre than a slew of male-fronted quintets. Lead chanteuse Tanja Frinta has a voice that I can somewhat compare to a European Sarah McLachlan on a higher register, though really, that means very little.
Lonely Drifter Karen does something unique in "A Roof Somewhere", focusing on neither the vocals or instruments, but weaving both together in some sort of crude symphony. There are the verses, where Ms. Frinta croons over that lovely piano, but the chorus is percussion and more piano-heavy.
Be careful listening; before you know it, the song will have come to an end. All I want is for it to be longer, but do not fret! There is plenty Lonely Drifter Karen out there.
