Matthew Perryman Jones & Mindy Smith — “Anymore of This”
(from Anymore of This) —
Smith and Jones aren’t exactly household names — yet, mark well — but for us fans of bubbling-under, angst-ified indie rock, this heavyweight collaboration is, in its own peculiarly subtle way, roughly as earth-shakingly momentous as that time those divine divas Whitney Houston and George Michael decided to blow minds worldwide and team up for one of the all-time great bitchfests. I know not if this is a one-off or merely an appetizing morsel portending more such duets to come, but no matter: “This” is a tender, dreamlike, wrenchingly sweet alliance.
