Taste Test: The Collection step out of themselves on new song, ‘Your Own Business’
The folk troupe wrestle with detachment and human connection.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
Songwriting is a world-opening medium. You can venture well outside normal structures and themes to dissect relationships or even your own psyche. Singer-songwriter David Wimbish ⏤ fronting folk troupe The Collection, also of Hayden Cooke, Graham Dickey, Joshua Ling, Sarah McCoy, Joshua Linhart, and Darren Miles ⏤ steps out of himself to write a song from his girlfriend’s vantage point. “Your Own Business” depicts Wimbish’s perhaps out of touch headspace. “Stretch your hand out to me / I will try to read the lines / Are they bigger than mine,” he sings, almost a siren warning to himself. Horns swell and puncture the production, tickling acoustics and piano ebbing and flowing with his reedy timbre. The cathartic release is enough to soothe the listener somehow, too.
“Your Own Business” is a cut from the band’s latest EP, I Love You, and I Think I Like You, Too, out everywhere now.
