The
Urban Comfort EP is Anamude's debut release, the result
of funneling over three records worth of songs into a six-song
collection. All of the tracks are warm and personal, and each one has
that distinct "lo-fi four track" feeling - like a more
subdued Songs: Ohia.
"Urban Comfort #1" is a perfect example of Anamude's
style - the track features sweet acoustic guitar chords played behind
her enchanting vocals, half of which are sung and half of which are
spoken. "Urban Comfort #3", meanwhile, is a beautiful Julie
Doiron-esque tune, complete with sparse instrumentation and that
special Doiron vocal style. "Brokedown", meanwhile,
is the album's best track - it takes over half the song to gradually
build up, and then introduces Anamude's voice on top of the intricate
guitar noodling.
Despite her limitations, Anamude has crafted a nice
collection of catchy, complex folk songs. If lo-fi folk-pop sounds
appealing to you, then the Urban Comfort EP could be just what
you're after.
