There is a taking it slow and considered feel to ‘Late Light’ and I like that about Portland’s Strange Pilgrim because really what is the rush when we have everything we could ever need close to hand. The slow motionery is crowned by singer Josh Barnhart who proves to be an alluring narrator, a chanteuse (Maggie Morris of Sunbathe) with a manner that adds a whole lot more romance to the day that we thought not possible. Could be a proper late PM kind of distraction but taking it in mid afternoon it also feels like the injection of class that was needed. Old school alt pop of the finest kind with hints of Stereolab to add the veritable cherry on top. KH
