moving in is the bedroom pop project of 18 year old Jordan Fox from Fort Worth, Texas. His latest EP, sunburn, is the latest release from Filip and co. at Z Tapes, and was mastered by bedroom pop royalty, none other than Warren Hildebrand of Orchid Tapes fame.
sunburn is a five song EP that’s slow and languid and sad, charting that intersect between love and loss that’s often a feature of bedroom pop. Take for instance the weary vocals on opener ‘strawberry’, or the sorrowful vocals on bummed-out break-up mumbler ‘annie’, both of which sees moving in dealing in either devotion or heartbreak (and sometimes both).
Acoustic guitar doesn’t do much to lift the heavy mood on ‘water garden’, and the guitar on ‘raspberry’ rings like a bell, reflective and gentle as the early morning sunlight.
“daylight again
its pouring in
painting our skin
through the window”
Finale ‘sorry lucy’ is an instrumental outro, a song which, despite its lack of words somehow captures the feel of the EP as a whole. You can order sunburn on cassette from the Z Tapes Bandcamp page or online store, or on a name-your-price download from the moving in Bandcamp page.
