Complicated love for my country
Something to this song. I'll be coming back to give it another listen. From someone not a fan of the 90s melancholy I think you treasure (well, Mazzy Star and a few others I liked) but an appreciator of a certain amount of folkiness.
Learned of you through your recent American Mind piece. You might like my Carl's Rock Songbook work--maybe try last year's piece for the substack on millenial-gen popular music https://pomocon.substack.com/p/carls-rock-songbook-no-130-my-favorite or 101 from the original series on NRO: https://www.nationalreview.com/postmodern-conservative/carls-rock-songbook-no-101-common-sense-conservatives-about-popular/
And if you don't know about Weyes Blood, there are two of my substack pieces on their songs, and I believe you would like it.
