HEY! LISTEN: Creature Comfort Re-Mixes “Light Boy (New Hue)” Into Shimmering Folk

Nashville’s Creature Comfort is adept at creating a countrified brand of indie rock to the stage. While their music is usually muscular and intense, the band shows its softer side in “Light Boy (New Hue).” This is in part due to Jessey Clark’s keen ear. His roommate at the time, Alex Robinson, reworked the band’s 2016 recording of the song. Clark loved it, and when Robinson joined the band, Clark knew it was time to record it.

“We decided to bring the entire band to the studio and added in some slide and drums and bass,” he writes. “My favorite little nugget of trivia about it is at the end of the song, you can hear a sound recording from Al’s grandparents’ cabin in the middle of nowhere North Carolina, where we were just recording nature, and you can hear a bird gently chirping in the background.”

Clark trades his trademark rock’n’roll bravado for a gentle touch here. “The song is about feeling chemistry with someone and really thinking a relationship is going to develop when the reality of the situation is that a romantic connection isn’t there,” he remarks. “It’s a song describing the emotions I felt at the time, and when I was let down, I wanted that person to remember me and what we could have been.”
