“Know it won’t sound
Like a trumpet on the hillside
More like goin round
The wavering star of the b-side”
Did I get those lyrics right? Maybe Cindy can let me know. The SF lofi indie pop group led by Karina Gill just released “A Trumpet on the Hillside” as the first single and music video from their upcoming fourth LP, Why Not Now? It sounds just like the Cindy we know and love—slow, hazy, sleepy, dreamy—a foggy waltz on a seaside bluff. Even if you have trouble deciphering the softly spoken, barely sung lyrics, you’ll have no trouble slipping into the tender grey film mood.
Why Not Now? is due out on Mt St Mtn and Tough Love on April 14.
