There’s a jangle to the music of the dead. I mean that certain something that’s so happy and so sad at the same time. The notes almost make a perfect harmony, but don’t. Then they do but quickly crash into dissonance. They simmer in that sweet in-between rhythm section rattling along all the while. Chords collapse chaotically into one another and just when you think it’s gonna spill into total nonsense, it stands back up and comes through sweet as a lullaby on your mami’s lips. Songs that’ll make people tap their feet and drink melancholically but not realize the twisting genius lurking within until generations later.
