Sharp Pins- Storma Lee

Kai Slater’s Sharp Pins distills the melodic instincts of ’60s pop classicism and ’90s lo-fi romanticism into a taut, DIY package that’s both timeless and slightly off-kilter. “Storma Lee,” one of the three new tracks on the re-release of Radio DDR, is right in the melancholic but kinetic sweet spot where earworms meet eccentricity, like a garage-bred Kinks with a four-track and a restless heart.
