Laish - She Is Clever

Just listening to the glorious, lush textures that hold this song together brings me feelings of joy. This quintet from Brighton has some very formidable musical skills, the elusive woodwind melody during the intro, the wonderful guitar line that holds the song together and those beautiful cascading string jumps during the verses show you just how talented this bunch really are. And they make it all sound so effortless. I’m guessing from the first line of the song that this is about a girl who looks after herself and a boy who has a few really good nights. I can relate to that, bottoms up.
