I think it is funny when I continuously see the same descriptive words being used by music comentators. While a lot of writers impress me with their terminology and phrasing, others regurgitate what they read. Hey, I’m not passing judgement. After all, I do the same damn thing! You start to run out of adjectives after a while.
Anyway, with that being said the following vocabulary was used in NPR’s All Songs Considered today by writer Michael Katzif: hazzy; oscillating; ghostly; and my favorite, otherworldly. Alex Scully from Beach House gave a hand in the proliferation of this track which makes sense, as these words describe the-beach-house-sound as well.
