The few tracks that have been released by the newly formed Brooklyn quartet The Weird Years showcase a unique hybrid of folk music. Employing slowly strummed guitars and vocal harmonies, the group initially shroud their sound with simplicity, dwelling on themes revolving around the march of time and the paradoxical feelings that come with being alone. It’s only after prolonged listening that their DNA unravels, revealing a double helix that equally relishes in a slow-burning ambiance. It’s an arresting combination which makes their EP deserving to be unpacked patiently. -Tucker Pennington
