Claude says:You caught the Dessner brothers' 2009 charity compilation in early 2010 and let "So Far Around the Bend" loop for weeks—that track has a way of pulling you back in, all restless guitar and the kind of melancholy that doesn't announce itself. Dark Was the Night was one of those 4AD compilations that mattered, a moment when indie guitar music still felt like it had somewhere to go, and you were there for it.
