When you stay in a metropolis, chances are high you have daydreamed in some unspecified time in the future about buying and selling all of it in for a pleasant, quiet life in a small city, someplace off the map. However what if that new life leaves you feeling alienated and alone? This turned out to be a recurring theme that runs all through the music we play on this week’s present, with ponderous tracks from Christian Lee Hutson, Youth Lagoon, Bartees Unusual and extra.
