Song Review/ Alt Folk : The Storm Windows’ ‘Fiona’
The Storm Windows are an Americana Band. They light up the genre with their romantic interpretations and vintage craft. Their latest release is ‘Fiona (Live From Tank Recording Studio)’, a track that perfectly exemplifies this. The track is made simple with a recurring acoustic groove, a flowing bass and a rough beat. The vocals are bare and leave it all on the table.
Together, they create a daze, shape an emptiness and void that comes with heartache. If you like bands like Fleetwood Mac, The Jayhawks, Dawes, Lone Bellow, and Son Volt, you’ll love the warm, melodic, harmony-driven style of this track. The rustic flavor is all over it, especially at the edges. And it adds an informality to the track, a bare-bones vulnerability that can be quite disarming. Add to that the sweet lyrical sentiments and the memories that float through the song. Listening to this song feels exactly like the movie ‘50 Days of Summer’ makes you feel. Listen Now!
