Selbyville - Send Selbyville to Disneyworld
Tea First #2
Recently, I was playing "Medley" from Selbyville's Send Selbyville to Disneyworld cassette and I was overcome with this urge to complete an act both audacious and liberating. Like if it was a summer afternoon and I was driving home from a place of employment, I would have taken off my socks and work shoes, flung them out the car window, and joyfully worked the pedals with my bare feet.
Send Selbyville to Disneyworld features all sorts of wonderful guitar suites: some consisting of wistful acoustic playing over brushes on a snare and soft thumps of a bass drum; others that conflate guitar melodies with astral synthesizer sounds with an end result that alludes to late '70s Vini Reilly; and still others that allow two distinct guitar parts to intersect then spirit off in separate directions before mingling once more.
One may be lured into thinking the instrumentals from this trio of Portland, Maine, and Pittsburgh natives—particularly when the instrumentals are extra poignant and make your skin flush—would best serve as the soundtrack to a montage of home video snippets featuring children playing in fallen leaves and running 'round an oak tree with bubble wands. This is foolish. Send Selbyville to Disneyworld is foreground music. It spurs one into action, to rid one's self of footwear.
