So I listened to "A Newborn King To See", the new and free EP from The Boasting Week, singing and songwriting spouses Jared and Mary Beth Dragoun, with that kind of mindset. And, you know, it's pleasant listening. The couple describe themselves as eclectic--"mingling" Jazz and Folk and Rock--but "A Newborn King To See" is pretty much Folk throughout. Out of all of it, though, the one that impressed me--the one that made me say, "Hey, now, this song shouldn't be passed over and forgotten," was the original "In The Dark". I like the rhythm, I like the use of sound, the volume changes, but what I really like is the way the couple play off each other. It's almost like one of those mash-ups where he's singing one tune and she's singing a different one altogether. And, while the rest of "A Newborn King To See" was pleasant listening, "In The Dark" actually made me feel something. So...cool. The song deserves to go from the huge crapload to the smaller pile. What happens to it after that is above my pay grade. The entire EP from The Boasting Week is name-your-price at Bandcamp.
