Greta Stanley’s voice sits in flow of melodic rosettes of sound and impressionistic guitar picking at the beginning of “Follow Suit” as she considers the state of her life and the day ahead. The ethereal gives way to distorted guitar and a more direct flow of ideas and shifting back and forth between doubts and certainties about getting up and making something of the day instead of being paralyzed by the possibilities before actually rising out of bed and following if not a plan of action on the knowledge that it’ll all sort itself out whether you know for certain what faces you because no one fully does even if most people’s lives have some element of necessary and healthy predictability. Maybe the song isn’t rooted in the experience of anxiety but if not, Stanley has captured that feeling perfectly as well as the moment when your brain is in gear and and over that initial bump in the road of your day.
