"Oldsmobile" is a nostalgic journey through the youthful days when cars represented freedom, music was one of the only things that seemed to understand us, and the first times seemed like they would never end. This is about looking back on those days from the perspective of someone who did "become another casualty of society” but can't quite mark
"Oldsmobile" is a nostalgic journey through the youthful days when cars represented freedom, music was one of the only things that seemed to understand us, and the first times seemed like they would never end. This is about looking back on those days from the perspective of someone who did "become another casualty of society” but can't quite mark the moment it happened.
This song represents a whole new sound and style for Grant Glad & the Soo Line Loons. Having mined the depths of the narrative driven Americana sound on their last record "One Man's Story", Glad wanted to explore a different style, treating each song as more of a vignette: capturing a moment in time. The music has a more electronic bent to it, a la Bon Iver or Phoebe Bridgers, as it serves to catapult the emotional lyrics forward to really engulf the listener.
