Minor Alps, "Far From The Roses"

If you have fond memories of the ’90s it is probably because that was the last time you had any excuse for optimism. I mean, sure, even then you had a sneaking suspicion that every deck was stacked in the favor of someone other than yourself and that the ground upon which you stood only seemed so spiffed up so that it would be that much more painful when they finally ripped the rug out from under you, but it was back in those waning dream days that you were still able to silence such doubts and con yourself into being excited about the future. So if you are that person who has fond memories of the ’90s you will appreciate this new song from Minor Alps — the dude from Nada Surf and the girl with the sister — because it sounds just like those final moments of hope your life once held. Enjoy!
