Track of the Week

"Josh Tillman and the Accidental Dose" is at it's core a classic-sounding chunk of tuneful, piano-and-guitar-driven melodicism, underscored by a colorful and ever-present orchestral accompaniment. The phrase "Beatlesque" immediately spills out to describe this particular union of elements, though "Accidental Dose" owes much, if not more, to later additions in that particular musical idiom the Fab Four helped to define. Tillman's soulful vocal is more Joe Cocker than McCartney, and song's almost playful arrangement recalls something that could be found on Nilsson Schmilsson as much as it does, say, "I Am The Walrus."
