Smog - Ex-Con - 3:35

‘Ex-Con’ appears on, and was the only single from, Red Apple Falls. This predates Bill Callahan’s current obsession with stark minimalism but upon listening the foundation remains the same: Callahan’s brazen baritone. The staccato piano juxtaposes beautifully with the fluidity of Callahan’s vocals. The timbre and effortless cadence of his voice stands out amid all other instruments. He commands attention and trust, a lo-fi preacher of sorts.
