Unwed Sailor - Little Wars
Review by Trevor Clendenin
Unwed Sailor's latest album, Little Wars, is a captivating and intricate piece of work that showcases the band's impressive musicianship and artistic vision. From the opening track, "Indian Paintbrush," listeners are drawn into a world of dreamy, atmospheric soundscapes that blend post-rock, ambient, and shoegaze elements into a unique and mesmerizing whole.
Throughout the album, Unwed Sailor expertly balances moments of quiet introspection with soaring crescendos that build to cathartic climaxes. Tracks like "Camino Reel" and "Ovid" feature intricate guitar work that weaves in and out of pulsing rhythms, while "Barnacle Choir" and "Lacuna" showcase the band's ability to create hauntingly beautiful melodies.
One of the standout tracks on Little Wars is "Ajo," which features guest vocals from David Bazan of Pedro the Lion. Bazan's distinctive voice adds an extra layer of emotional depth to the song, which explores themes of longing and regret.
