SONG OF THE WEEK
Song: "The Warmth of Youth"
Artist: The Mallard T&E writer Parisa says, "The early 2010s San Francisco freak-folk and garage revival scene gave rise to a flood of incredible bands. While a handful of names broke through and dominated the conversation, my personal favorite has always been a short-lived group called The Mallard. Across their two LPs, they captured the quintessential raw energy of the SF scene but filtered it through a moodier, post-punk lens. Their second and final album, Finding Meaning in Deference, radiates that cool, aloof and detached confidence while carrying a deep emotional undercurrent. “Warmth of Youth” is a standout for exactly that reason — a track that embodies the bittersweet nostalgia of adolescence. The fuzzed-out production conjures the hazy warmth of memory, while the dark, brooding synth line reflects the ache of distance and loss. The album was released after the band had already broken up, and for that reason, got lost in the hype of its time -- but it so very much deserves to be remembered and cherished." |
