Boy With Apple’s final single from its debut album Attachment is “Good For You.” The song’s ethereal melodies are enveloping and transporting and though there is the gorgeously gossamer guitar work and winsome vocals for which the band has become known there is an element to its composition that seems rooted in the aesthetics of electronic music and beatmaking. The result is a composition that drifts into your brain and takes you on an emotional journey exploring uncertainty in love while holding a certainty about how you feel. The line “How can I be good for you when I’m not even good for me” is delivered with such delicacy it speaks to a perspective of unselfish yearning, of wanting to love and be loved but not to harm in the course of a relationship. Fans of Black Tambourine and Lush will appreciate the genre-bending style of the song and the way it articulates complex feelings with an expansive musical reach and a willingness to let the sounds linger and interact organically with an analog sparkle.
