this is really fresh. by re-telling the words and stories of a senior, david seems to make the tales more universal, more accesible. instead of thinking about one old man uttering these words, i'm thinking about old men uttering these words. the idea is very novel but not a novelty. can i see this live?
The narrator clearly loves the subject matter, and in turn makes the fixed gear bike sound attractive, simple, and beautiful. The bike sounds reside in harmony with the vocals. I could have gone without the conventional music at the end. The gear recordings were meditative and really effective on their own.
