The Jon John's song "Stories" seems to occupy some strange space in the nether regions of folk, alt-country, and shoe-gazing. The vocals are heavily reverbed which give the song a very ethereal and atmospheric quality which just works - it adds a uniqueness to a tune which would otherwise be a pretty straight up folk sound. On the other hand, the song is decidedly modern with an almost loop-like architecture in the guitar, piano, and drum instrumentation. Let me be frank, I loved this tune and went on to hear the rest of The Jon John's album "Road Trip Mix Tape,' an aptly named title as all of the songs have very specific characters. See links below.
