Sometimes indie is all you need. And sometimes indie calls to you in the form of a duo from Minnesota who could outplay any quintet from another state. Said duo, Peter Wolf Crier, offers a flawless, yet melancholy in tone ditty that is "Settling It Off." In this selection, you might notice a few electronic-y elements. The acoustic guitar, or the guitar in general, isn't the star here. Instead, it's the shake of what quite possibly could be a tambourine, as well at vocals that will burrow deep into your psyche. You won't know why it's good, but you'll know that it's good.
The line then recite a little prayer for truth reminds me of the good ol' Burt Bacharach song, but in a good way. I'm always one for putting a new spin on the oldies. "Settling It Off" is subdued indie, for those rainy days when you want to listen to sad-sounding music and the sound of droplets beating against your basement window. It might be sad, but it is beautiful. Peter Wolf Crier has a way with this fine line between beautiful sadness and another depressing indie song, but they pull it off. I commend them for it.
