Merchandise - Green Lady

Pitchfork top tracks for 2014
Next up Merchandise "Green Lady". Number 98

I like the music intro a lot, and it stays interesting with a retro vibe throughout. However, the vocals feel too down in the mix to me though, and also a bit muddy. This mixing choice might be motivated by the singer not having a great voice. The song might also benefit from a few more concessions to a pop sensibility, like adding some memorable / catchy “hooks”. Even Talking Heads had clear verse chorus structures. It closes well though.
