It'll Come Around


All Saints Day - It'll Come Around

"It'll Come Around" is lo-fi wash and modern day "wall of sound." It's layered on so thick that you can't really tell what's going on underneath; like that girl in January on 14th Street that was probably pretty cute, but you couldn't tell through all those sweaters and scarves and hats. The influence of Kickball Katy's Vivian Girls is heavy, the lyrics are hard to hear and harder to understand, and a simple hook is modestly developed, but more accurately--simply repeated. More summer sounds to pack your player with.

It's not even close in the lamest-named band of the year award. Well, Atoms For Peace gets honorable mention. All Saints Day is a side project of one Vivian Girl and Gregg Foreman of Cat Power.
