Each year, as winter bares it’s teeth toward the end of it’s reign in New England—here’s hoping I haven’t just cursed us—I find myself gravitating to songs that will pull me through the last few weeks of cold and darkness. One of the releases doing that this year is Texas Girls and Jesus Christ from Trevor Sensor.
The lead single and album namesake, feels much like the season change itself. “Texas Girls and Jesus Chris” starts off with a stark, cold feeling. Sparse instrumentation, Dylan-esque lyrics and vocals reminiscent of Kristian Matsson (A.K.A. The Tallest Man On Earth) quickly grab you by the collar. Then, as the song builds and crescendos into a bloom of energy, you can practically feel yourself being pushed on through to the other side of the seasonal divide. Yes. That’s the feeling I’ve been looking for. We can do this folks.
The entire debut EP from the Jagjaguwar artist is well crafted with great instrumentation and a sound that’s well produced but not over produced, letting Sensor’s raspy vocals and slightly haphazard style shine through.
