Swimsuit Grandma – Barely There

swimsuitgrandmaMike Indest returns with one of his strongest offerings to date. Mike may speak of dry spells and all that, but these songs really don’t sound like a songwriter coming off a period of writer’s block. Barely There has a flow to it that sounds like it just came together easily and naturally. Or to borrow some terms from Sean Severson of And How – airy and cohesive. The rest of the band (Eddie Parrino, Monty LeBlanc, and Glen Sigur) add a bit of rock and swagger to the mix. I’m also diggin’ the reggae touches to some of the songs. Despite the band name, the subject matter is lament, and therefore you get a bit more of a somber tone than past offerings. Or more accurately, each song is based on a chapter from the book of Lamentations. As with past offerings, this ep is free to download from BandCamp – s what do you have to lose?
