Recorded half in Sydney, Australia and the other half in NYC, “A Point At Best” is an experimental and dreamy five minutes of song, complete with a weird boing-y sound that could be a jaw harp or a synthesizer of all I know. For all it’s “heady” intentions, it attempts Radiohead or Wilco but ends up sounding more like early 00s pop like Coldplay or David Gray. The lyrics are simple and few and the song is led with a dark arpeggiated guitar and a four on the floor bass drum until a tambourine makes it entrance gingerly. It later devolves into synthy nonsense. While not an absolute piece of shit, this is kind of what happens when you try and follow “indie” or “alternative” influences into to a completely uninspired wall.
