WILLIS EARL BEAL "EVENING'S KISS"

here's a truly special track that i haven't been able to stop thinking about since i heard it. an utterly captivating et refreshingly stripped-back, endearingly artless et idiosyncratic, forlorn confessional Evening's Kiss, from Chicago-based "below-underground" lo-fi crooner Willis Earl Beal off his forthcoming debut album "Acousmatic Sorcery" (2012).

Evening's Kiss contains some of the best songwriting/lyrics i've heard in a long time, so i feel compelled to quote part of a stunning free-form verse, enjoy!!!

"Drip drop / Window pane hypnotic

Clip clop / concrete, heals on it

I'm still disillusioned / and cool catatonic

Always in a daze / without smoking the chronic

And the doors still open at the end of the day

And I'm still hoping without much to say

You ask me how I'm feeling / Well I'm full of shit and doubt

Ask me who I'm with / and I tell you I'm without."
