bôa ‎- Duvet [1998; Polystar]

image

In the first song of this single,
“Duvet”, bôa

play an easy-going but lightly unhappy bit of late-’90s alt rock with a glaze of electronic texturing, letting the vocals and drums take the forefront while the rest simmers until pulling forward for the bridge.  The B-side, “Deeply”, amplifies the guitar’s presence while the vocals take on a more confrontational edge and the drums move to a jazzier, popping tightness of rhythm.  A light but enjoyable pair, with some nice but subtle details to their production.
