Hazy and nostalgic, “Older,” the closing song to Perfect Posture’s debut EP Window captures a liminal stage in a person’s life. Like when you’re through with a certain period in your life and you’re ready for things to move on but you’re stuck in your past life for the moment and that inspires some introspective assessment and sometimes uncomfortable self-examination. The echoing, effervescent tones and downtempo pace is the sound of that reverie and psychological processing anyone who has ever accomplished anything in life, even if no one else recognizes it, has felt—you’ve reached the end of a period in school, you’ve reached the point in your career where everything seems pointless and you’ve taken steps toward something else but there are aspects of your current job that you’ll miss, your band is drawing down after you’ve already agreed to split up after releasing your final album and going on your final tour. That ambivalence about the denouement of that chapter of your life, is exquisitely expressed in “Older.” Listen to the track on Bandcamp and follow Perfect Posture on the Preserve Records website.
