As the Minnesota weather forces us indoors for long periods of time, our tendency to get caught up in our own minds and ruminate is incredibly high. For me personally, being able to pair those moments with music that is open, honest, and raw is incredibly important. Enter songwriter Noah Topliff with the newest single from his band Alexander Natalie, "651."
"651." has us walking in on another conversation, this time over the phone. Topliff is chasing his thoughts around in chorus, singing, "And I know myself, and I don't, want to be here / Runnin' round my head, tryna forget, what it means." An additional layer of vocal harmony from guitarist Samuel Ketcham provides tenderness among the band's expansive folky instrumentation. For having six members playing multiple instruments, I'm always impressed with the gentle complexity of Alexander Natalie. To put it simply, the music made by this band is absolutely beautiful.
