Tomberlin – Seventeen (Saddle Creek)

| Tomberlin - Seventeen |
Release Date: Out Now
I feel like this track needs to
come with a health warning. Not because it’s toxic or full of e-numbers or
anything like that but just because to look at it, ‘Seventeen’ wouldn’t seem
like anything dangerous. This is a wonderfully gentle song with softly rippling
acoustic guitar notes, lethargic strings and the dreamy vocals of Louisville
songstress Tomberlin; no risk here, right? Well, if you’ve got a heart of stone
and no sense of nostalgia then you might be alright but for the rest of us,
Tomberlin’s delivery of lines like “I walk in the breeze like I am seventeen,
love is mostly war, and war what is it for?” will have you reminiscing for rose
tinted younger days spent in the sun. If you need something to help melt away
your stresses and strains and you like the approach of early material by Laura
Marling and Beth Orton with a soft American drawl then this one is for you. Be
prepared to be stopped in your tracks and sent on a meander down memory lane
though, this is not a song that promotes productivity.
