Presenting a laid-back and emotive rock sound, “He Walked You Home” is a recent track from Jones Carwash. The band is based out of Berkeley, CA and Montreal, Canada. They embrace a hypnotic and no-frills sound here, recorded with live instrumentation in the basement of Robby Pedersen’s parents house. Pederson is songwriter, producer, and engineer, and successfully aims here for a production that emulates the feeling of a live performance.
The nocturnal lyrical disposition and gentle guitar tones cast a tranquil spell over “He Walked You Home.” The suave guitar stylings remind fondly of King Krule. “Oh, what a night,” the vocals let out. “Oh, I trust you, but how could I know if you lied?” is asked with greater clarity amidst a lush acoustical addition. Dreamy and consuming, “He Walked You Home” compels with its serenely yearning qualities.
