C-Sides



Stereogum first turned me on to Chris Garneau back in the fall of '06, and with the recent release of his EP of B-sides, aptly titled C-Sides EP, I have found that my love is still strong. The songs remain relatively sparse with just piano, cello, and whispered vocals, but the structure serves the songs well as it draws focus to the beautiful, sad, and often painful lyrics ("I want to catch my death a cold because I'm scared I'm growing old"). Perfect music for those cold and/or depressing nights filled with doubt and self-loathing...I mean, if you ever experience that type of stuff...which I obviously do not.
