    It’s lovely, in an effortless, frictionless way that wafts on warm currents and soothes as it passes.

    Despite the absence of a unifying theme or motif, these primarily acoustic songs breathe with a plethora of everyday detail that obscures their often nonexistent innards.

    The drawback is that the lyrics are often too hushed and garbled, which makes it seem like he doesn't really care about what he's saying, and so maybe you shouldn't, either.

    Sonically, Explains is breezy, effortless, and warm as a Pacific Ocean sunset, and its laid-back vibe helps tame some of Field's more manic, pop culture-laden diatribes like "Light Brang" and "Where."

    The arrangements are lush; each song harbors Little Wings’ signature breathy organ, but the addition of harp, flute, shimmering cymbals, and soft drums elevates it out of the ‘70s and into a more otherworldly dimension.
