I frickin love the cover for the “Live at Enemy” album from The Singleman Affair.  The music ain’t too bad as well.  Its a little rough and “rock” at times, but a good listen.

I just had to open with the above, not really related to this post other than the actual artist being The Singleman Affair.  For this post, I wanted to focus on the “Racehorse” EP that has just been released and the title track therein.  It is just a great slow burn of a song.  The echo of Dan Schneider’s vocals are haunting and the slow gallop of his trusty guitar make this ripe for my enjoyment.  Slightly lo-fi in it’s overall sound, but I can assume that was on purpose with it being more of a lone man singing tragic things to himself…  The last thing heard, “We don’t need the sunshine anymore” seems like the best way to end this song.

p.s.  This EP is also supposed to be the “stop gap” to his new album due later this year, so it’s a good news Friday all around!
