Born in Reverse is an emotive track that will immediately draw listeners in with the interplay between the vocals and the tender strings; the gradual ebbing and flowing of this haunting track ensure that one will focus on the tracks that will follow.
Slackers Paradise tells a story with the complex interactions between the instruments; the track takes on an entirely new tack when the vocals kick in. Curtains is the penultimate track on Cordelia and is a rapid track that ties together folk-punk, Billy Bragg, and a hint of flamenco to make something wholly unique. Check out On The Water’s latest album Cordelia when it comes out on May 9th.
