Ummm, when I first heard this track I thought that the vocals sounded ridiculously familiar. Upon quick further research I realized that Big Red Machine is Bon Iver's Justin Vernon and The National's Aaron Dessner. This has instantly made my day better, because, let's be honest, this is the best collaboration ever.
From the looks of it, the whole album is just a collection of friends' experiments:
“Big Red Machine thing is this PEOPLE energy, and that’s why it belongs there. And, I mean, there’re 40 or so collaborators on the thing. So, it’s just more realistic and it’s not so much, ‘Oh, who gets the king crown of making this album,’ or whatever.”
Their debut album is slightly reminiscent of Bon Iver's last album 22, A Million, but every track has Dessner's influence. I'm keeping Lyla here because it just fits the Monday mood somehow, but I strongly encourage you to to listen to the whole Big Red Machine album, definitely worth your while.
