lyrics

While MNE is often overflowing with solo bedroom recording artists, San Francisco’s Sure, Man carries the torch for actual get-in-the-basement-and-jam-it-out bands. This song “Oscillation Palace” is a great example. As frontman Alex Maddox put it to me “every song is a freestyle”, and in this iPhone demo you can hear the Sure, Man creative process in mid-swing. The band fluidly jams (and not just that elementary ~stick to one chord progression and beat~ jam) while Maddox rattles off this improvised story about a gender-fluid baker oscillating between gender identities, a subject matter he explores in real time without stumbling. The song has highs, lows, tangles and tangents and wraps itself up in a neat crescendo bow as if the spontaneity was planned all along. Cheers to Sure, Man for keeping the band alive.
