Told Slant, an artist known for writing some of the saddest songs possible, has recently released a semi-happy song. 2016’s album "Going By" and celebrated 2012 release "Still Water" contained tracks that sounded like band leader Felix Walworth was having his emotions wrung out of him while playing. But his recent collaborative release with Chicago’s The JCW, entitled "Moonlight or Flashlight" (streaming below), sounds like a serene love song with a melancholic edge and an (almost) upbeat drum loop. "Moonlight" was part of Bandcamp’s 100-track collection "Our First 100 Days" (related to Trump’s presidency) which donated all proceeds to various charities. Told Slant recently completed a small, solo, east coast tour and will be playing live at Alphaville on September 23rd. -Allie Miller
