"Love is blind under the chandeliers"
Summer Fiction - Chandeliers
What can I say? The harpsichord does it for me. It's been a while since I've heard a really good harpsichord song, so I think "Chandeliers" deserves the spotlight. Summer Fiction is Philadelphia-based band which specialises in creating musical nostalgia for the innocence and torment in the 1960s, as can be evidenced from the videos for
"Chandeliers" and
Throw Your Arms Around Me". Their 35-minute self-titled debut LP is collection of bitter-sweet ballads interwoven together by the instrumental interludes. It is easy-listening in the best possible sense of the word, and it won't be long before you'll be left wanting more.
Most appropriate for: reading "Oliver Twist" by Dickens on a sunny July afternoon.
Least appropriate for: reading "The Idiot" by Dostoyevsky on a gloomy January night.
If you liked this, you will: like the rest of the album, and possibly enjoy "Tremble the Sails" album by the fellow Philadelphians,
Buried Beds.
It's even more appropriate for reading "The Breakfast at Tiffany's" by T Capote (the book, of course, not the movie)
ReplyDeleteGood point! I just listened to the lyrics closely and I think it would work really well.
ReplyDeleteI think I listened to Red Hot Chili Peppers when I read "Breakfast at Tiffany's" - can't get any less appropriate than that.
