Today musician extraordinaire Andy Shauf dropped the single Spanish On The Beach via ANTI- and Arts & Crafts.
A beautiful warm and intimate clarinet acoustic guitar pop tune.
About the track:
Over gentle, jazzy guitar strums augmented with the whispiest of woodwinds, Shauf tells an empathetic, funny story of a couple’s time on an all-inclusive resort vacation, using the idea of a language barrier as a metaphor for the beginning stages of communication breakdown.
It ends with the narrator envisioning an imagined scenario in which he proposes to Judy, a character mentioned across The Neon Skyline, before bursting into song, musical theater-style, with the resort’s house band.
“It’s the same theme as the story ended up being at the Skyline but the narrator’s life is a little bit booze-fueled,” says Shauf on the song.
“And this vacation is kind of like the first stop on the way to destruction.”
Spanish on the Beach gets:
/10.
