I feel like I make the comparison to Iron and Wine a lot--perhaps it's a thing I have, a complex I'm developing... But for this new track from The Middle East, from their first full-length album I Want That You Are Always Happy, the comparison is apt. "Months" is sad- and southern-sounding, winding through unpredictable acoustic plucking, incorporating a simple bass drum and maraca midway through, and adding some breathy vocals and whistling, straight from The Book of Beam. It's a lovely track though. With each release The Middle East seem to put out a track that really captures you. With their EP, The Recordings of The Middle East, it was "Blood" and with their newest installment, with songs like "Months, there's sure to be something to get you. I Want That You Are Always Happy is out in their native Australia already, and will be available in the US in July.
