-
From
a
deckhand
on
a
container
ship
idling
in
the
bay,
an
excitable
beachgoer,
or
a
rubbernecker
passing
through
an
intersection:
it’s
as
if
you’re
floating
around
the
city,
people-watching
through
a
soft
focus
lens.
Flowertown,
the
San
Francisco
duo
of
Karina
Gill
and
Mike
Ramos,
return
with
the
dreamy,
temperate,
“Half
Yesterday”.
Flowertown’s
previous
album,
“Time
Trials”,
focused
on
the
slowing
down
of
time,
shutdowns,
and
a
somber
look
at
our
day-to-day
thoughts.
But
with
over-the-shoulder
observations,
a
‘slice
of
life’
from
one
onlooker
to
the
next,
“Half
Yesterday”
seems
to
tell
the
story
of
the
people
in
a
living,
thriving,
city.
Twangy
lead
guitar,
high-neck
bass
notes,
and
percussion
woven
together
in
the
decay
of
a
warm
reverb.
The
album
contains
the
familiar
vocal
trade-offs
between
Mike
and
Karina;
oftentimes
coming
up
with
two
separate
melodies
for
their
respective
vocals.
One
stark
difference
is
the
beautifully
simple
production
across
all
of
the
tracks.
Previous
Flowertown
recordings
leaned
on
the
“Portastudio
as
an
instrument”
production
for
many
of
the
songs.
On
“Half
Yesterday”
the
tape
hiss
is
there,
but
it’s
not
altering
the
end
result.
With
a
fading
pink
and
blue
sky,
the
city’s
lights
begin
to
twinkle
at
sunset.
Another
onlooker
gazes
out
and
wonders
if
what
they’re
seeing
is
right.
