Wishing (You) Well
Milford’s Born Without Bones brings the lightning (and the thunder), but the angsty storytelling of the lyrics finds its true home in the halcyon moments before and after the storm. Their EP Pictures of the Sun cranks up the drama with crescendos of jangly guitar, sharp hooks, and stampeding percussion. What usually follows is the sweet release, a musical moment of realization, an epiphany.
Our highlighted track “Wishing (You) Well” listens more like an epilogue to the album. The distorted guitars are traded for the quieter handpicking of an acoustic model. Add some strings, heartfelt vocals, and you’ve got an unplugged gem.
