There’s more than a little bit of Electric Light Orchestra in Indoor Fins’ “Here It Goes.” Though technically the bedroom project of Timothy Nelson it sounds like it was written having in mind a giant audience and its huge riffs and urgently expansive mood comes out of a dark time in the songwriter’s life when it seemed that family tragedy with illness, the breakup of his old band and his relationship at the time dissolving struck in short succession. The bright and colorful tones and dense atmospherics that hit you and push out feelings of stasis reflects the carefree spirit of the song born of a need to break free of a mental state that can leave you psychologically paralyzed for weeks and even years. The single is part of the recently released Indoor Fins EP Amber Arcade (out November 11) and if “Here It Goes” is any indication of Nelson’s power to transmogrify despair into pop gold then surely the other songs have much to offer in that regard as well.
