Inlets: Bright Orange Air

74/100

Here is a lovely single from Brooklyn (by way of Wisconsin) singer songwriter Sebastian Krueger who plays under the nom de guerre Inlets.  It’s a charming piece of baroque, chamber pop, with Krueger’s clear (albeit conventional) voice gently nudging the song along in a hushed tone, while velvety clarinet and lush guitars fill out the background nicely.  Fans of British cult faves Tindersticks might find a lot to love here – though Stuart Staples’ baritone is much more memorable.  Inlets full length LP Inter Arbiter will be out on April 20^th, and will host such luminary guests as Zach Condon and Angel Deradoorian, which alone makes it worth checking out.
