song of the day: june 27/2011

Portland Cello Project - Hands in Pockets [Laura Gibson]
Album: Portland Cello Project [2008]

from the album titled and group name, one might assume this is a contemporary classical recording, which turns out to be partly correct, although it might be more accurate to describe the music as a hybrid of contemporary classical and indie pop. "hands in pockets" was written and sung by laura gibson. when she played it on daytrotter, she said that the song is about surviving the winter and other harsh seasons, and how we find ourselves stumbling towards (and sometimes away from) intimacy with another person.
