Shriving Drawers uniquely animates unseen locations, and in "Mutiny," they delve further into a surreal, contemplative perspective of history. "Mutiny" depicts the frontier as an enigmatic space where echoes of colonial tales persist, and where figures, such as the Outlaw, bear not only arms but also the weight of history. The music brings to mind sounds reminiscent of a combination of a galloping horse and the tranquility of an abandoned port.
Shriving Drawers provides the track with a remarkable sensation. The guitar appears to elongate like shadows during dusk, the rhythm resembles boots hitting a weathered wooden porch, and the melodies oscillate between emotions of optimism and sorrow. Yet under the inviting, contemplative exterior, there lies a touch of unease, reminding us that numerous have narrated the tales of this frontier without truly comprehending them. "Mutiny" demonstrates that music isn't always required to conform to a single genre. Sometimes, it resembles a cinematic score reminiscent of Ennio Morricone, whereas at other times, it transitions into serene, dreamlike tones. It feels as if the song is attempting to liberate itself from conventional structures, and it succeeds.
The music has an intimacy that brings you to life. You can nearly graze the guitar strings with your toes and sense the rhythm as a soft creak in a vintage structure. In these serene instances, Shriving Drawers allows your creativity to wander, discovering ancient towns, vast prairies, and delving into recollections.
"Mutiny" appears to have been created thoughtfully, a work that respects history while also challenging limits. It provides a view of a deserted town with open doors that don't connect to the familiar tales we've always known
