Absolute Loser, 2016
Written by Eric D. Johnson
This gem of a song might be called alt-Americana, with poetic lyrics over uptempo, minor-key banjo, guitar, and drums. The lyrics evoke coming into being, knowing you're alive, maybe an epiphany born of being struck by love. "The next thing I knew the stars were eyes up in the night / And the ocean breathing heavy like a beast." There's an energetic wistfulness here, a melodic nostalgia for some unspecified moment freed from the bounds of linear time and space.
