Five By Five From Four

 

Five By Five From Four is an EP by the legendary Boston band, the Gypsy Moths.

And I LOVE it!

Here's a quick write up about it.

1. And You Know I Do -So bouncy and perfectly 1960s whenever. Wistfully happy. Reminds me of some of the best Monkees songs.

2. Before The Lights Went Out -Reminiscing about the past is a great power of music. Really melancholy lyrics but in a true way not some teen goth way, releasing the sadness of people who have passed but in a way that helps you share out and wear out the pain.

3. Cover For Me -Fun and poppy. A nice upbeat swing after the previous track. Go home with my xylophone alone. fun lyrics! 

4. Fold Up The Air - My favorite song of the EP. Freaking beautiful. Psych pop in the best way possible. This song gets stuck in my head all the time and I never mind it living there. That guitar and piano! They sound glorious. The whole song is lush and captured perfectly.

5.Tell Me She's Alright -A fun lost love story. The ending of the story in the song sneaks up on you. It's very clever. The ending of the music catches me off guard too. I really dig how it messes with me in the right way.

If you love rock and roll, this is the EP for you. 

Best EP of 2025? Yes it is.

Yours in the love of music,
