Ashes In My Pocket

Blues-soul with gospel roots, slow swung groove and a church-clap pulse; verse stays sparse with worn piano, muted guitar, and brushed drums, pre-chorus opens with organ swells and stacked harmonies, chorus lifts into a full choir answer and handclaps.

Tape hiss, a rising organ swell, and a final shout-chorus give it a raw, living-room revival feel, warm and gritty in the mix., blues, gospel, soul
