frans asthma consumes across two new tracks in “light rail” and “one way route,” unveiling a heartfelt lyrical disposition amidst nocturnal guitar-forward haunts.
“light rail” asks “can I stay here in your arms?” with affecting qualities as trickling guitars linger beautifully. The vulnerable lyricism — “did I ruin things? you’re the only thing I know,” — and gently unfolding guitars combine for an emotive enthrallment. Multiple vocal layers combine with sporadic pulses for a climactic, satiating close. “one way route” continues the entrancement, yearning for mutual adoration as a more conversational vocal pace stirs — with shades of King Krule in the guitar tones. These are both atmospheric, emotionally moving successes from frans asthma.
