ALEX SOUTHEY – “I THINK I SMELL A MELODY”
INDEPENDENT
“I Think I Smell a Melody” is acoustic guitar-based, like his previous single “Never Listen”, but that’s about where the similarities end. “Never Listen” was tight, and it popped; this, on the other hand, is a photo out of focus. “I Think I Smell a Melody” begins with loosely double-tracked vocals and rhythm guitar, until a smear of mellotron, cello, and strings enters and completes the personality of the song: A roiling pool of half-warnings of instability and spring imagery.
ARTIST QUOTE
“It began as a joke”, says Southey. “Well it’s still a joke. You can’t take the title seriously. But it began as something I said to myself mid-writing session, totally understanding even in the moment I sounded like a cartoon villain music manager, but there was no cigar was present. No feet up on a desk.”
