A nap was taken right before I sat down to write this. Yes, it’s not even noon and yes, I have only been up since 9am – but I’m drained and heading towards another breakdown in 5…4…3…2…let’s talk about The Larch’s In Transit though before I freak out about other things and get distracted by reality. Somewhere between an eclectic person who marches to the beat of the sound in their head and a college station in the ‘90s sits this record, so let’s get to it.
While some 19-year-old at a state school in ’93 would’ve been spinning “Welcome To The Institute,” there’s an ‘80s teen movie that wishes it could go back in time and add “Science & Charity” to its soundtrack. In between the decades you got a weird treat with “Saturn’s In Transit.” It was an odd sounding song, but it’s definitely okay to be a little out there – you stick out more. Then you landed on the ironic with “Images of Christmas” because it sounded more like the summer. Guess it was a California holiday?
So there you have it, a nap and a review of a record that’s for fans of The Larch’s previous works like Days to the West. They both give off that ‘90s aroma. So if you still don’t want to admit that decade’s over – check out In Transit, out now.
