New Cairophenomenons: “In The Pye”
Cairophenomenons have always let their music unfold at their own strolling pace, but “In The Pye” slows things down in a whole new way. Everything starts normal enough, as the band plays a nice mid-tempo number featuring some conflicted lyrics hinting at a lot of worry and confusion. “What I want to say is…” goes one line, before the song goes into slow motion, the beat nearly vanished from the number and the words now leaning towards a few sentences and a lot of whispered syllables. It’s ghostly, and conveys all of the same confusion as the swifter sections, but with a more mysterious edge to it. Listen above.
