Jenny Lewis and The Watson Twins’ “The Big Guns” popped up on some compilation or random stream and onto my favorites it went. I hadn’t heard of her before, though the name sounded familiar. I think that’s because Jenny Lewis is a name that just sounds familiar. I’m not at all familiar with The Watson Twins. From the album Rabbit Fur Coat, my assumption is they are a folk duo/group that got Jenny Lewis to collaborate with.
It starts with an uptempo folk guitar chord progression with some acoustic noodling before the lyrics start. We have a full round of verse/build/chorus before the anthem style 4 on the floor bass drum kicks in. The build this round brings everything back down to a quieter feel before the chorus kicks it back up. It’s an all around great folk-pop song.
We’ll talk about Jenny Lewis more when we get to The Postal Service.
