Lake Mary: “Slow Grass”
An album with two sides and two songs from Lake Mary. If you’re looking for a reason to pinpoint the intersection of ambient and folk Americana, then the first track “Slow Grass” is probably your jam. It’s kind of the manifesto song that doesn’t let you forget that for all the folky textures emerging from the guitars, violins, and clarinet, what Lake Mary is constructing is a horse of a different color compared to your average country jamming. The other track “So Long Favorite” listens like a beautiful collection of studio outtakes of a more conventionally imagined soundscape. Either way it’s pastoral gold.
