Showing a suave vocal lead and twangy aesthetic reminiscent of Kurt Vile, Tom Galloway‘s “Mercy of Your Mood” is a delightful new track. Its “way it’s going, I’ll be gone soon,” hook repeats with a tender satisfaction, alongside a warming arsenal of guitars and key-laden touches. Recorded at Southern Ground Studios in Nashville, “Mercy of Your Mood” touts great production and nicely showcases Galloway’s accessible, melodic vein of songwriting. A guitar solo around 02:30 adds well, carrying toward a satisfying conclusion. Fans of War on Drugs and Kurt Vile will no doubt enjoy this.
