Delivering on their promise of the good music to come, Brooklyn experimental pop quintet Landlady are back with their latest single “The Globe”. The second single from their upcoming Hometapes debut Upright Behavior, “The Globe” is noticeably much less straightforward than “Above My Ground”. Adam Schatz’s voice is just as soulful as ever but “The Globe” starts off at a brisk sprint, the talents of Schatz and his collaborators fully on display as the track swings between its distinct parts while in no way blunting Schatz’s stellar songwriting. Rather they work in tandem highlighting the lyrics with just the right coloring, whether they be in bright whites or subtler colors. Landlady are in rare form here able to fluctuate between its two main ideas cleanly and effortlessly. While not the ready made anthem of “Above My Ground”, “The Globe” doesn’t suffer from any lack of its soul-stirring fervor.
Landlady’s sophomore effort Upright Behavior is out July 15th on Hometapes.
