Joel Plaskett Emergency is releasing a new track every week leading up to the release of Scrappy Happiness on March 27th. This week’s track is “Somewhere Else” and is available to stream on CBC Radio 2. In case you were wondering, I have been copy and pasting the first two sentences every week.
This week is the sixth track, and quite possibly my favourite song from the new album he has released so far. It feels like the first time on this album we’ve seen Plaskett stray from his usual songwriting patterns. A little more layering of instruments with the voice hidden deeper in the mix. The only thing I don’t get is why the song ends so much earlier compared to the initial live version. Hopefully it becomes a barn burner on the live stage.
If you use Rdio, check out my playlist with all the new songs.
