Nothing quite as difficult as playing it simple and true. It’s the true part where most people get hung up. Luckily for us Paul Cook & The Chronicles nail both parts of the equation with “Before I Embarrass Myself.” A lower tempo melodic indie rocker leaning into the singer-songwriter vein / vibe it feels like a lost classic from the very best of the softer side of early 90’s alternative. Shades of The Lemonheads are present with maybe a dash of The Connells thrown in for good measure. It’s catchy and a tad melancholic and perfect for this season. Put on your oversized sweater and curl up with this one, because it’s a good one.
