PATRON SAINT OF ALMOST — Unmarked Records UR-032 A Britpop indie rock acoustic ballad opening on a capo'd four-chord guitar pattern alone, with mournful cello entering verse two to provide emotional undertow, building to a full-band anthemic chorus with shimmering electric guitar, grounding bass, crashing drums, and swelling cello. Nasal plaintive tenor moving from intimate confession to desperate singalong. About loneliness dressed as devotion — the patron saint of almost, the imaginary friend, the maybe that never resolves.
