here's an absolutely stunning track, Bi-Focal from uber-talented Portland-based vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Katy Davidson aka Key Losers {ex-Dear Nora} off her stunning debut album "California Lite" (2011).
Bi-Focal is a smooth, sultry, woozy, 70s-tinged track, Davidson's gorgeous voice lilts over the songs surface like a thick, creeping fog, slowly obscuring our surroundings, making it hard to orient oneself, we quickly fall under her spell, a pulse-like drum beat throbs away steadily, while a funked out bassline lends a jazzy nocturnal air to the track. Bi-Focal's warm lethargic tone lulls us into a sense of familiarity that becomes uncanny, by the end one is abruptly brought back to reality by a disquieting, siren-like sound. you'll want to get comfortable for this one, turn the lights off, lie back and listen carefully!
