Perhaps Earth Libraries is reissuing Captain Kudzu’s 2018 Arboretum or just the single “Drag On” by the Birmingham, Alabama based indie rock band. The song has a gentleness of spirit in its psychedelic flavors and the intricacy of its soundscapes in the bell tones and arpeggiated strings that lend an air of dreamlike introspection as the song wends toward a bright, uplifting passage to give an emotional palette cleanse in a song seemingly about a conflicted reconciliation that may or may not take because the conversation has already happened time and again with the same results. But in the song’s uptempo and ascending structure there is a hint that even if it doesn’t work out in the usual ways maybe there has been an internal shift that has moved beyond any hurt feelings in a meaningful sense. Listen to “Drag On” on Spotify and follow Captain Kudzu at the links provided.
