Listen to Every Little Thing/Pretty Pictures
The Houston artist K. Campbell returns with a couple of new tunes, and just like everything he’s been involved in, it’s a curious variation of pop the embraces punk and indie ideas.
“Every Little Thing” leads and offers Campbell’s soft, expressive vocals as Mandy Kim Clinton provides back up singing in the highly melodic and instantly memorable indie-rock jangler that kind of reminds us of Death Cab For Cutie with a gym membership.
“Pretty Pictures” is equally great, and recruits McCullough Ferguson on Farfisa as the setting is both swift and playful and not without some power-pop spirit in its fluid and harmonic delivery.
Available physically as a limited 7” or cassette with download, much like everything Campbell has released lately, it’s a quick listen, which is really the only complaint I could see anyone lodging, cause every second here is exciting and gripping.
Travels well with: Jay Som- Everybody Works; Pearl Crush- Coax Me Out
