The 1969s hail from Dallas, Tx and they sound like it. You got some ZZ Top drivin' around with Aerosmith listening to a R.L. Burnside mix of Left Lane Cruiser and Ten Foot Pole Cats with some hidden tracks of olde school blues, soul, and english rock. Dig 'em. *start with I Been Cut With A Butter Knife, go to Calamity Jane then to the other ep and listen to Jabber.
You'll Never Get To Heaven's track "It's All Over" is about as romantic as the first snow fall on a cold winter night. Everything seems to be on it's way out. The daylight quickly evaporates leaving the landscape a bit more barren. This is all possibly funny or daunting think about as the summer is gently beginning to ebb towards the fall. Regardless melancholia knows no boundaries and there are those who can use a little something to slow down these fast times.
"It's All Over" is mesmerizing in it's simplicity, in it's subtlety. The song structurally rests upon a slowly loping looped sample that seems to be primarily made up of a piano or synthesizer. The focus quickly turns to the bedroom soft vocals which shrouded in reverb becomes part of the sonic landscape then offering any direct narrative flow. After a guitar line sweeps into the mix just in just he right manner picking everything up even for just a second the listener nears the ending which fades out into oblivion. You can take reference points such as Shoegaze and what seems to have become a bastard genre title as of late Slowcore (maybe this is for good reason). But these references only go so far before becoming lost in some dark winter night of their own.
