"Easy Days" earns praise from Indie Obsessive

“Describing “Easy Days” as layered and nuanced is accurate and earned praise, but still undersells the intelligence of the composition. The single by Seth Samuelson & the Harvest Sons includes opposition, tempo shifts, and treatment departures. The opposition is immediately apparent, as the lyrics emphasis taking life leisurely (living life for this moment together), while the tempo is energizing. But the opposition is particularly evident at the 1:48 mark, when a quick-build crescendo is triggered by the counter instruction “Slow down / I said slow down.”

 Our favorite treatment departure is the difference between the corresponding first and last lines of “Easy Days.” The Harvest Sons' single is launched with a rhythmic guitar and slightly reverberated vocals. There isn’t an intro; the song hits the ground moving at a quick pace. At the end, when the song returns to the options of either walking down to the coffee shop or staying home, less insistent percussion holds the pace and the guitar is a melodically pleasing strum.” Read the full review!
