Fingerfood with Dink Hand

Before Frog Eyes conquered the world with their consistently mindblowing live shows, frontman Carey Mercer's first band Blue Pine released one of my all time favorite albums. Blue Pine's self-titled debut, released on Canadian label Global Symphonic, just hints at the passionate chaos of Frog Eyes, but in a much more subdued and melodic manner that fans of Frog Eyes might not expect. There are still moments of Mercer's frenzied vocals, literate lyrics filled with mythological creatures, and an abundance of overly long (yet awesome) song titles. But the recording seems somehow cleaner, the guitars less distorted, and the melodies sweeter. Maybe its nostalgia, but I find myself listening to this album much more than the Frog Eyes albums. This song is too good for me to ruin with a half-assed description. Its title alone is solid gold.
