128. NICK FIORETTI "OLD ANCHORS"


next up is the evocative title track, Old Anchors from Seattle-based bedroom pop, multi-instrumentalist Nick Fioretti off his forthcoming album "Old Anchors" (2011).

Old Anchors is an effervescent, melancholy-tinged, epic, Eno-esque, noirish synth pop track, the wonderfully experimental et intricate arrangements/sequencing make Anchors an enriching listening experience, one that keeps growing with each listen. Fioretti's vocals are urgent, fragile, poetic et confessional, he continues to rue over the same painful memories, searching desperately for an answer, for a resolution, layers of tormented, ghostly harmonies cry out, echoing into the hazy atmospherics, culminating in a haunting et devastatingly mournful refrain. Anchors shows Fioretti at his most vulnerable et tellingly this is his most creative et poignant track to date. enjoy!

the delicious, quietly surreal cover art is by Tacoma-based freelance illustrator & designer Anita Landree, which aptly signals the return of the boat shoe!
