Sweet Talk For Hours

El Perro Del Mar - “Change Of Heart” The bass is what pulls this song together, and it’s certainly what carries it along, but it’s not necessarily what draws my attention. I’m more interested in the piano chords that seem to pass through the composition like some kind of sad, drunk apparition, and the way the drum fills seem overly stiff in contrast with the fluid grace of the bass parts. Sarah Assbring is singing about a crumbling, failed long term relationship and it makes sense in this context — the music feels exactly like the strange emotional space of a consistent, comforting pattern that has been gradually ruined by ongoing bitter conflicts.
