"Where did I fail you, my love?"
That's the central question in our Jam of the Day, brought to you by Nashville's Colorfeels. Basically, it's a pretty way of asking, "Just how did I eff this up?" "Pretty Walk" leisurely tries to sort out the confusion (Was it me? Was it you?) with a cadence that draws just a titch bit from '50s rock 'n' roll. Think: Ritchie Valens' "Donna," mixed with the kind of 2011 complacency that keeps relationships nowadays from getting lift off. It's indie-pop that truly reflects these modern times.
A little after the three minute mark, the track downshifts via lilting harmonies (we're guessing that's where those Fleet Foxes and/or Local Natives comparisons come from), and the once strolling "Pretty Walk" ends with brass and self-blame.
