Gfc- Albert Hammond Jr

Gfc- Albert Hammond Jr.

Gfc from Albert Hammond Jr's new album, ¿Como Tel Llama? is ticklish. The high-pitched innocuous riff, the rise and drop of the bass, are like tips of feathers that relaxes you into thinking this is harmless.
It is all a trick.
“Inside me there's a sad machine, wants to stop moving. I disagree for the things you do, you should stop doing it' sounds passive, almost laidback from Albert's nonchalant tone.
Then suddenly he lets go and tells you the truth. 'Oh! All the while, all the while! I want the frustration to know that you are alright. Not what I was doin'...you played a fool!'
Then he calms down, and the music releases all energy and reenters it's sleepy lullaby. But it is only momentary, before they pick you up again and toss you against the wall, the bass and drums steadily keeps your attention, lets you know this is grave business. AHJ pins you by shoulders and accuse you again and again. 'Hold my head, it's about to fall, all that is happening,' Albert pleads, resigned. Follow this with the guitar angsty guitar solo, refrained from complete self-righteous anger by the soft and carefree 'Ooh' accompanying it.
And like one who has bared everything, but in the midst of it all, in self-deprecating fashion- thinks he makes sense to no one; AHJ abruptly gives up. Gfc ends, without an exit. Leaving you behind, the jilted-lover. Unhinged, assaulted, wanting.
