THE GUILD LEAGUE
Inner North


There's an open emotion that motion releases. "Citronella" is like staring directly at the sun, excruciatingly beautiful. Not unlike falling in love. There I said it. Pull in the overcast sky, and whistle down the sidewalk, kick a can home. Inner North is definitely not Hallmark. There's much contemplation and fear. But there's also beach towels and arched backs and Tali White singing lazy lalalas. Mostly acoustic --- except for traffic-impatient The Storm (...fear is a feeling that will never cover everything) --- mostly like freshly cut grass melodies. Hooks that stain; a smile that stays. Effortlessly one of the best. *****
