Taste Test: Creature Comfort fall into bad habits with ‘Big, Buff, and Handsome (Sounds Like a Good Time)’

Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones

We are simply flawed human beings. No matter how hard we try, or how good our intentions may be, we’ll stumble, and we’ll fall, and we’ll gain a few more scrapes and bruises. We pick ourselves up off the gravel, and vow to do better the next time. Rinse and repeat. Harvesting folk and pop, with a dusty coating of indie-rock, Creature Comfort dissect this very cycle in their own lives. Lead singer and guitar player Jessey Clark wants to make better decisions, but his body is caught in a trap, a sticky one in which he can only seem to pick the same choices time and time again. With “Big, Buff, and Handsome (Sounds Like a Good Time),” Clark laments for his continued sour state, yet there’s a particularly perverse celebration in it. “Chase the tracks that you’ve created / And wind up at the same place where you’re from,” he loops.

“Big, Buff, and Handsome (Sounds Like a Good Time)” samples the band’s new album, Home Team, out everywhere October 30.
