HollAnd - Neoprene So Tight (Darla)
This 3 ("Mil," "Neoprene So Tight," and "Soft Limit") song single from
Darla is a wonderful little gem. Trevor has recorded a lot of great
releases under the monikers See Saw, Sea Saw, HollAnd, and Commercial
(with Flowchart), and this is one of his best (but also one of his
shortest).
Though HollAnd has always been comparable to the best elements of
Magnetic Fields' The Charm of the Highway Strip and Get Lost, his music
is always a little more upbeat, and his vocals are a little less
hopeless. However, Trevor's vocals still do have an element of sadness
to them, and it perfectly anchors the more upbeat pop songs.
Neoprene So Tight is the perfect 3 part single. "Mil," the first track
is upbeat and peppy, "Neoprene So Tight" sits in the middle with the
great line "Neoprene so tight, so tight you can't breathe," and "Soft
Limit" has a great downbeat, winding-down feeling to it that leaves you
craving the single again. So, buy it and put it on repeat so you can enjoy it
all day like I do.
