Sweeping waves and slow, plodding dancing lines. I fall into the cavernous depths of EG Vines “Drunkard’s Dream”. Sucked into the place that he is singing about. There is a special talent in that. Painting colors with a voice and echoing guitar notes mingling with bass root notes allowed to fade until the next line. There is a magic there, a space created in the air out of nothing. Melancholy, but sweet and poignant.
Who: EG Vines

Song: ‘Drunkard’s Dream’
Latest Record: Family Business
What About It: “Everybody knows that guy that hammers beers at the end of the bar reminiscing and telling you how great things used to be. I think that was my mindset the day that I wrote ‘Drunkard’s Dream’. Contrastingly, my bassist Ben Cunningham says it’s a ‘sweet song about young love’. Maybe he’s right, I don’t know (laughing).
Musically, I love the dynamics on this one. In the studio, the band was incredible and Jordan Lehning called all the right shots in the producer’s chair. I couldn’t be happier with the final product.”
